We loved our time in Rome- and much of that is due to Frederica and Gabriele and the apartment at Porta Latina. My family (two adults, four kids ages 2-12) is truly grateful for their beautiful hospitality.
Due to a few mishaps and a long delay, we arrived in Rome VERY late (2AM)- and Gabriele and Frederica did an amazing job communicating with us, accommodating our incredibly late check-in, rearranging our airport pickup with the driver, etc. Their communication and response time is outstanding, and they salvaged a disastrous day of travel with four kids!!
As for the apartment- it is clean, the beds are very comfortable, and everything one needs is located within reach. I have to admit we didn’t spend too much time there or do any cooking, really. We made much use of the book of information and restaurant suggestions that Frederica has put together (amazing resource!) and greatly enjoyed both the gelateria downstairs, and the lovely cafe bar just down the street for coffee and pastries.
We walked to the Colosseum/Forum (twice) from the apartment, and all the other major tourist stops were easily accessible via the metro from San Giovanni. I loved the neighborhood and definitely felt like we had found a hidden jewel.
I would not hesitate to recommend this place- and I certainly hope we might be able to stay here again!
