We have just arrived back from the magnificent city of Rome and wanted to give our feedback about the accommodation we stayed in. The host Daria was easy to communicate with and responded to our initial queries very quickly and in detail and on meeting her it was just the same. She had pre-booked a taxi to pick us up at Ciampino airport which brought us directly to the apartment. It cost 40 euro when most other quotes were around 50.
Daria was there to greet us and to show us all the amenities. There is a dish washer, clothes washer, iron and board and of course wi-fi. The flat is spacious and bright with shutters that can block out the sun if it's too bright. The beautiful terrace overlooks the roofs and balconies of neighbouring buildings giving a little insight into local life.
Daria had stocked the fridge with a large amount of sparkling and still water, some beer, soft drinks and milk. There was also tea, coffee, olive oil, salt, pepper etc. so all the basics were already there. Our lovely hostess also produced a large folder that she had compiled of local eating places, supermarkets etc. She pointed out the many books that adorned the apartment including some very helpful guides. This is a beautiful apartment with a fantastic host and we would give it 5 stars.
The apartment is only a couple of minutes minutes from the Spanish Steps and the Trevi Fountain. There are lots of excellent eating places, shopping areas and stunning buildings around every corner. People are so friendly and helpful and make you feel so welcome.
One issue you need to know about is that this is a top of the house apartment with approximately 100 steps to encounter. There is a small stair lift that can carry one person with a suitcase or shopping so people with mobility problems may wish to contact Daria first to get more details. Our last day came too quickly of course and we had again requested a taxi which sadly arrived late. However our host was in constant contact with us and the taxi and when we eventually got to the airport the driver told us that Daria had paid for it because we had to wait. I suppose that sums up how well looked after we were with our host looking after us all the way back to the airport. Would we go back to this apartment? Absolutely, when you get this 5 star treatment why would you change it.
