Federico was so responsive to my questions and sent me links and addresses to places I needed, such as a Covid testing sight, as well as a luggage storage place, which, by the way, was a minute walk from his apartment, and they arranged my airport shuttle for the morning. I spent $50 euros to get door to door service in a Benz. Not too shabby!
Check in and out was super easy and Federico texted me as soon as the apartment was ready, which was an hour before check in time.
The apartment was in a great location, with regard to walking to the major attractions. Getting to the colosseum was about 20 minutes and most everything else was within 15. My only regret was not getting a walking map, because relying on your phone’s GPS is difficult.
The apartment was small, but oh so old world charming! Just be prepared for a tough climb if you have heavy luggage. The bed couldn’t have been more comfortable and was definitely the best night sleep I had in Italy.
Even though the apartment is surrounded by restaurants and cafes, the street winds away from the action and noise, allowing for a peaceful night.
The only thing I will say, is that the front door of the apartment building is located steps away from Campo de Fiori, which points the way through a walkway written in graffiti. And while the description says it’s a “suggestive lane,” it looked more like a dark alley, which, being a woman traveling solo, deterred me from walking through. However, when waking up to fly home, with the sun shinning, I went through and found the beauty of the lane, as well as all the restaurants and cafes, not to mention Campo de Fiori, itself, on the other side. I could’ve kicked myself for not adventuring through the night before!! Next time though!!!! I’ll definitely be going back to Federico’s place!
