Barbara's apartment was the perfect place to stay during our visit to Rome. Prior to arrival, Barbara was in touch to answer questions and provided all relevant information for how to get to and from the airport. Our check-in was seamless: Franco & Claudia kindly met us in the morning for an early check-in so that we could drop off our bags. The apartment is well equipped, and looks just like the pictures. Visiting in mid-July, it was HOT in the city, but the air conditioning unit in the bedroom made for an excellent sleep both nights we were there. Other great (and unexpected!) features included a portable wifi we could take with us in the city as well as a storage space where were able to leave our luggage for several hours following check-out. We really enjoyed the location - a little off the beaten tourist path, we ate our best meals at local restaurants and the Testaccio Market (the best pizza I've EVER had). You can easily walk to most of the main attractions in the city, or take one of the many bus & tram lines accessible at stops 2 minutes from the front door. Overall, a very comfortable stay in a great area of the city. We look forward to visiting again!
