Before we arrived at Rome, Luisa has been in contact with us and she was there to greet us. More than that, she spent nearly an hour answering our many questions about Rome. She was most helpful as her English is very good. In fact her tips helped us a lot during our week long stay.

We found this place to be small and charming. It might not be the most spacious apartment but it certainly has character and more than enough for two of us.

We enjoyed the fact that it's so central to everything. Most sights are within 15-20 minutes walk. The only unfortunate thing is that the Trevi fountain, which is literally around the corner, is under renovation for perhaps 2 years. We booked the place because of wanting to live near it. But don't let that put you off from booking this place as most of your famous sights are so close that we always come back for a siesta in air-conditioned comfort during the hot afternoon during summer time and venture out again in early evening for another round of sightseeing.

One tip though, if you're taking a taxi from Roma Termini train station (central station), make sure the taxi starts their tariff at the 3 Euro mark (there's a sign in every taxi that advise you their starting tariff). Don't believe them when they say it will cost you 25 Euro. It should be under 10 Euro. They will try to rip off all tourists by giving you a higher tariff starting point.

We have most certainly enjoyed our stay here in this apartment and eventhough we didn't cook much in it other than 1 breakfast, there's certainly enough equipment here for stay at home meal. The cost of meals weren't that expensive and that's why we've eaten outside most of the time. However the cost does add up. Hence we love the flexibility of being able to cook at home our own meals if we choose to.

Just be aware that this apartment in on the third floor (2 floors up) and there's some stair climbing involved. But nothing too strenuous as this is probably the same all over Rome where stairs are unavoidable.

All in all a brilliant little apartment where everything (stove, hot showers, cold airconditioning and TV) works and it's quiet at night for peaceful rests eventhough you're living so centrally in Rome. For what we're paying, it's a great deal. What more can you ask for?
