We were looking for a comfortable place to stay, away from the noise and smog of Rome but close enough for sightseeing. We picked Rome by sea on the basis of the pictures in the ad. Usually, this is not a very good idea. In this case, the real thing is even better than the pictures!
We arrived during an unusual cold spell just after Christmas. The apartment was pre-heated, clean, spacious and we immediately felt at home. The generous supply of complimentary 'basics' (including fresh fruit and a bottle of chilled Champagne) made us feel very welcome as well.
The spacious apartment is very well laid out, without that typical 'rental feel' to it, has a very high level finish and offers a sea view all around. The bedrooms, with very good beds, are sensibly situated in the back, away from any street noise.
Restaurants, shops and the train station offering a 30-minute ride to Rome every 10 minutes are all within a short walking distance.
Did I mention the sea? It is right on the doorstep.
