Barbara was a great host with a beautiful apartment. My husband and I stayed there with another couple and had a fabulous time. Barbara made us feel right at home with espresso, biscuits, slippers, travel size toiletries- we were all very comfortable. The apartment is very modern with an amazing view of the park. Very close to Vatican City with restaurants downtown stairs and grocery stores around the corner. We found Rome to be very walkable and enjoyed the location. Barbara even provided us with a map and interactive app that helped guide us through the city. All and all it was a great stay and will definitely return next time I'm in Rome
