A lovely quiet apartment, very private and peaceful. We were a little concerned about what we might find, but the pictures reflect it perfectly. Very efficient and quiet air conditioning. The balcony is ideal for breakfast, since it is still shaded then. Comfortable bed, and well equipped kitchen and bathroom, all was very clean. Including the breakfast items and milk and other goodies to get us started, many thanks Lorenzo! Look out for the pull out by the stove for oil, vinegar, salt, pepper etc. Coffee, jam etc. in the cupboard as well. There is a good supermarket nearby, and a great bakers / cakes/ lunchtime food cafe just around the corner on Serpenti. There are some very good uptodate guide books to Italy, including Rick Steves'. Very useful. It's a fun and central area, with some good, reasonable restaurants - ask Lorenzo... The tap water, as everywhere in Rome, is perfectly drinkable - and keep a water bottle with you on your daily explorations, to fill up at the nasonis. (Nasone = singular?) Wonderful cold, fresh drinking water. Google for an explanation and a map of them - very useful. Just one small warning - the step up to / down from the apartment door is deceptive. Remember it's there, and don't follow me and mis step down as you go out. It is sometimes dark, and you will need to negotiate said step in order to turn the stairwell light on - perfectly fine, but be aware! Also be aware that there may be mosquitoes about in Rome - keep the outside door shut once dusk arrives, and spray etc. We did get a few bites, walking through the evenings, sitting eating etc., but strangely they didn't itch...?!
We were very pleasantly surprised to discover that the apartment is on the first floor, with just two flights of about 8 stairs each. After long days of walking, this was much appreciated.
The shower, like most, doesn't have any grab handles, apart from the shower upright itself, but there is a small stool which you could use if needed.
Lorenzo was a very good host, giving us a map, and marking various shops, restaurants etc. on it. He also, as with others before, organised a car to collect us and take us to the airport. Recommended. As also the apartment - we will be back! Thank you very much, Lorenzo. Arrivederci!!
