Our Rome-Home! :)
That's the best way to describe this listing - we affectionately called it our home.
Located on a quiet street just on the edge of the historic and touristy areas, you enter through iron gates, around the side of the building into a private terrace garden. From there, you descend a couple steps into the cozy, private ground floor apartment.
At first glance it seems small but we stayed for 11 days and were very comfortable because after a long day surrounded by people and activity, the apartment gives you a truly private, quiet and secluded place to relax and unwind. Any questions or problems were responded to immediately and we were messaged periodically to make sure we were happy, which we were! Also, it was Christmas and we arrived to a welcome gift of traditional Italian cookies, coffee, and cake!! :)
Pros:
-Feels like home :)
- Fully stocked kitchen, with dishes, utensils, and some foods and spices, oil, etc. (It's really nice to have these things, so consider restocking it yourself if you empty something)
-Power adapters were found in a basket
-Awesome location!!
---20 min walk from coliseum, forum
---2 mins from Manzoni subway station
---So many shops, restaurants, nearby.
---Very safe feeling (police station on same street)
---Beautiful, historic area
---Close to touristy areas but far enough it feels like real Roma
-WiFi is awesome. Router is in the apartment on the wall to the right of the door. Perfect signal, fast speeds.
-Moka Pot for coffee. Google it. We ended up buying our own to take home :)
-Big bedroom, stained glass, arched doorways, big windows give lots of light
-Transportation to and from airport provided (for a fee, pay the driver, Marco is great!)
Cons:
- You eventually have to leave :'(
The last three days of our trip we went to Pompeii for two nights then came back to Rome for the last night before our flight the next norming. We planned on getting a hotel for the last night but last minute we asked if this unit was still available and it was. We were even allowed to leave most of our luggage while we took a lighter-packed trip to Pompeii. We were SO HAPPY to know we were coming back here, to our "home" for one last night before we left. It was such a relief to not have to worry about going to a new place.
We cannot say enough good things, THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! :) :) :)
