Host: Victor is an excellent host. He is very responsive by email and was there for check in. He also came round to the apartment within 15 minutes after i accidentally locked myself out. He organised taxis for our separate departure times which was fantastic given that neither of us speak good Italian.

Apartment: The apartment is part of a residential complex and feels very authentic. i.e no hotels close by. The living area is spacious and bright and it was lovely sitting with the window open in the evening listening to the sound of distant church bells. The bedroom was lovely with plenty of storage space. The kitchen was also well equipped and we cooked their most nights.

Areas: The area is fantastic with history just waiting to be discovered at the end of the cobbled lane. Close by we found a deli style supermarket (best pesto ever!) and a local indoor farmers market which was brilliant- cheap locally produced goods and wine! The whole area where the apartment is located is just stunning and very walkable to the forum/colosseum. We walked all over the city and never needed to use the metro but to give you an idea of distances it took us around half an hour to walk up the river side to the Vatican. The walk was just splendid in the sunshine and cool breeze.

All in all we had a great stay and would definitely stay here again should we be lucky enough to return to Rome
