We were absolutely lucky to sleep and wake up by the beautiful Pantheon in this cozy apartment. Location is the one of the best things about it. We walked everywhere - to colosseum, to campo di fiori, to Trastevere, to Vatican City. We saved a ton on transport.
Second best thing about it, Max and Valentina were gems of a host. Before we arrived, they booked a taxi for us upon our request and when there were some issues (by no fault of theirs) and we could not reach the apartment by car due to road blocks, they communicated with the driver to drop us somewhere nearer to the apartment. Max met us and walked us all the way. Along the way, he introduced some landmarks to us. Needless to say, these 2 tired travellers were very impressed by the hospitality even before we reached the apt. And when we wanted a taxi to get to Termini on the last day, Valentina also gladly booked one for us. They were basically within reach whenever we needed them.
Thirdly, despite the apartment being in a prime location, it was very safe and secure. There were very unique touches that made us feel at home. Everything you needed was there - washer, hair dryer, coffee machine etc.
We had such a good time that we really didn’t want to leave. Thank you so much, Max and Valentina. We will be back to Rome, and be back to your cozy space! See you again!
