My husband and I stayed at Valentina's apartment for 3 nights in mid-May. All communication prior to and during our stay was easy to understand and timely. Valentina was a great host, and made sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed upon check-in. She even provided us with a list of local and recommended restaurants as well as some tourist information. She was available anytime we needed something, and even washed/dried our laundry for us overnight for a 5 euro charge. The apartment was a bit difficult to locate, our GPS unit took us to a location just down the street that ended up being a homeless kitchen--not the best place for two travelers to turn up after a long day! We just had to walk a bit farther and ignore our GPS, and we found it without any issues. As for the location of the apartment, it was extremely convenient and easy to access--it was surprisingly quiet for being in the middle of the city, it was a little oasis of tranquility in the middle of all the chaos of Rome. One thing to note: if you are a woman traveling alone and staying here you might feel a bit unsafe walking back here by yourself late at night. It's a quiet street with high walls on either side, so there's not many people around like in other parts of the city. If you come from the east, there is the homeless kitchen in that area that occasionally has characters hanging around it. One night there was a crazy man yelling as we passed by the area. I hope that was just an isolated incident, I felt safe at the time because I was with my husband but alone I would have been frightened. From the west side, the street feels much safer and I think there's some kind of school so it's always busy with young people. The apartment itself was impeccably clean and well-equipped for travelers. There were plenty of amenities, including an amazing shower head that was actually tall enough for my 6'3 husband to stand under without having to hunch over. The bed was very comfortable, and there was AC available that we used one evening when it was really muggy outside. There are two bedroom/bathroom units in this building that share a common kitchen and garden area. The other guests were very clean and tidy, we hardly saw or heard them so the apartment felt very private. Valentina left out some little pastries for breakfast every morning, and there was coffee available to brew ourselves. Upon checkout, we had to leave very early in the morning and Valentina arranged for a private driver to take us to the airport and even sent us a message to let us know when the driver arrived and make sure we didn't oversleep. One thing to note is that there is a tourist tax at most places you'll stay at in Italy. It is not included...
