Our stay at Desiree's apartment was as good as it gets! The location was perfect, a walking distance to the Vatican - make sure you stop at the Old Bridge Gelateria on the way, even if the line is long. The Metro is ten minutes away and the Mercato Trionfale is a great place to stock up on groceries that you can cook up in her well equipped kitchen and then eat on the wonderful terrace. We belonged here within a few minutes of our arrival as soon as Patrizio had briefed us on the logistics of entering the building, the elevator and the various appliances in the kitchen. A final word of thanks to Desiree for her real time, on line support when we needed it.
