Before my friend and I arrived Giulia put us in touch with her friend Brigitte who would be checking us in. Brigitte was very communicative and made sure we were taken care of during our stay. This apartment is very spacious and relaxing. The bed was comfy and the fold out couch I used was comfy as well. Lots of extra linens were available. The bathroom is clean, shower pressure good. Kitchen was nice with everything you need. The location is quiet but definitely urban (e.g. older, a bit run down, graffiti, etc.) It was the same throughout Rome though. My friend didn't feel safe walking around at night, I felt fine doing so. I guess it's a difference in personal comfort. Otherwise, the neighborhood was charming with a few cool spots. I'd recommend Pizza Fantasy for a quick (and amazing) pizza experience and Pane & Pane for sweets/pastries (yum!) There's also a few small grocery stores in walking distance as well. To get to the main Rome attractions took around 15-20 mins by taxi (around $12-$15 each way). The airport was around 30 mins (roughly $40-$50 taxi ride). I really enjoyed the space and appreciate the value for the money!! Thanks again Giulia for sharing your beautiful space with us!!!
