This is THE place to stay in Rome. Don't look somewhere else!!!!!
I talked to Andrea on the phone when I got to the airport and I met Carlotta at the apartment.
Carlotta was lovely and very kind as well as Andrea. She showed the place around and when she opened the balcony, it was like a magical experience. We got to experience what it is to live like an Italian in the neighborhood.
First of all, the place is well stocked [pans, water, coffee, tea, sugar, plates, utensils, towels, shampoo, etc.]. A plus was to have a washing machine to wash our clothes, esp. the baby's.
There is a 24hr supermarket just down the block [five minute walk due to the little streets and steep hills...but still VERY convenient.]
The apartment was 10 minutes away on foot from the Vatican which it was very convenient to make it on time for our tours.
Carlotta was very thoughtful to have the crib and high chair ready for our 20 month old.
Every single touch and decoration in the apartment was very well thought.
We are definitely coming back to this apartment in the near future.
