Valentina was a great host and it was such a pleasure to stay in her lovely home. I loved the location, little cafes and eateries on nearby streets and the close walking distance to the attractions. The apartment was very secure and located right near the Lepanto station (a couple minutes walk). I found it very convenient for someone carrying heavy suitcases and there was also an elevator to get my luggage to the apartment. I enjoyed using the metro lines to easily get around using cheap all day travel tickets.
I found Valentina to be a very warm and friendly person and her place was tidy and well equipped with utensils, iron, microwave, washing machine, etc.. I especially loved being able to make espresso short blacks on the gas stove cooktop using her cafetera and drinking them on the balcony outside. Highly recommended. I will definitely stay there again when I am in beautiful Roma.
