Just returned home after my week long vacation in Rome. Lorenzo's place was perfect. It has everything you need to feel like you are at home. Although the place is a few hundred feet from the Coliseum, (AMAZING) you don't hear the street noise from the apt which was great for my sleep! There are 3 rooms, the 2 standard bedrooms are great and cozy. The 3rd room is a sofa bed which was where I slept, but it's a sofa bed so don't expect it to be the most comfortable place to sleep, but it was fine for me. The kitchen is equipped with all the necessities, even a coffee machine. But if you are like me and want a cappuccino or an espresso in the morning, there is a lovely café right on the corner. Everyone is super nice there. I hugged them all goodbye my last day.

The building is safe, there are 3 doors to unlock to just get into the building! Then you have 1 door to unlock to get to your floor, then 2 doors to get in your apt. It was like fort Knox!!! I bumped into a few of the neighbors, everyone was very nice.

About the HOST
Raquel, greeted us when we arrived and gave us a quick tour and instructions on everything. Good thing too, because we blew the fuse once. Tip don't run the washing machine while ironing and blowing your hair! To be fair that's Europe everywhere, I once blew out a hotel! But it was super easy to reset, you just may have to play with the key a little to open the gate.

Lorenzo, is great. I never had the pleasure of meeting him but he always replied to my questions right away. I could not figure out the heat (even after Raquel told me what to do) so he came over with my permission that day and fixed it for us. He checked in with us to make sure everything was going fine and to see if we needed anything else, more towels, etc.

I have been to Rome 4 times, and stayed in different places each time. I would definitely stay here again if I came back to Rome, which I am sure I will. I would also recommend this place to my friends and family for their travels.
