Our stay at Patrizia's apartment was like living at our own home. It was comfortable, spacious, and equipped with everything we needed. Although it is a bit far from Rome's city center, the bus rides were lovely and it afforded opportunity to mingle with local people who were warm, friendly and helpful. Just remember to buy your 24 hour tickets in advance. We arrived in Rome a day late because of missed connection due to weather, and Patrizia generously (and unexpectedly) left an apportioned refund for us when we met Paola to check-in. And we used it for a lovely treat at the local pizzaria which was incredibly delicious and with the friendliest staff ever. Thanks Patrizia and Paola for helping make our stay in Rome like home away from home.
