Our host Gaia was beyond wonderful ! She met us at the apartment for our arrival. She helped us arrange transportation from the port to the apartment . Very stress free. The apartment was perfect. She explained with a map how to get around the area and gave us all the information we needed to have an enjoyable stay. The neighborhood is perfectly located to all major sights. We walked everywhere, no need for busses/ metro/ taxis. The apartment was very clean ! The kitchen was very functional and I was happy with the washing machine. A supermarket is only a few minutes walk away and there are local farmers markets nearby. I really enjoyed staying outside the tourist district and was able to experience Rome as a resident of the city. One thing to note: we had a minor hiccup with the apartment and we let Gaia know and she was there to fix the issue the same day ( it happened to be Christmas Day) . This was totally unexpected and she went above and beyond to make our stay plesant and we cannot wait to return to this glorious city. Thank you for this home away from home.
