This was a beautiful apartment in a great location. The size is actually bigger than the pictures would suggest. Two comfortable bedrooms, and after getting used to small European showers, the large one in the bathroom w/the tub was a delight! The kitchen was fully equipped with everything we might need for breakfast. Donatella's decorating touches are wonderful!
The apartment is right on a bus line that can get you almost anywhere in the city. You can also easily walk to the Vatican, or to Trastevere (just to the south), or cross the nearby bridge and be in the heart of central Rome in about 25". I had wanted to stay in Trastevere, but after dining there one Sat. night, I think we were better off in our quieter area for being able to sleep! There were not a lot of dining options right around the apartment, but a short walk to areas with more nightlife was part of the charm. There are several convenience stores just a door or 2 away, so easy to pick up milk or a bottle of wine.
Donatella and her daughter were perfect hosts - responding very quickly to any questions we had, and even had a nice information booklet in the apartment, as well as lots of maps. She arranged a driver to pick us up from the airport, which was well worth it, given that we arrived at night. We had a wonderful stay, and would return here on our next visit, as well as highly recommend Bijoux de Rome to other travelers!
