Marzia arranged for a driver to pick us up at the airport. She was waiting on the street when we arrived and she helped us bring in our bags into the apartment. When I walked into the bedroom, pulled aside the curtain and saw the view, I was so enthralled that I just grabbed the woman and gave her a hug. The apartment has a stunning view of the piazza.

This place has the three rules of real estate. Location, location location. You are not just near the legendary Camp di Fiori, you are ON the Campo di Fiori which changes all the time. In the morning, they are setting up booths. All morning you have a spectacular market with fragrant flowers and amazing food. Don't miss the cherry tomatoes. In the afternoon, the booths come down, and they do a great job cleaning up the piazza and its time for sidewalk cafes and people watching. Never a dull moment.

The apartment is large and roomy. Two bedrooms and kitchen. Spotless throughout. Close to many Rome highlights like Ponte Sisto, the Ghetto and Trastevere.

Mariza was super friendly and helpful and made sure we got back and forth safe and sound from a cruise leaving from Civitavecchia.

If you want peace and quiet, go visit a farm in Tuscany. If you want to feel the pulse of Roma and its people, you could do no better than this. I spent hours gazing out the window. Cannot wait to go back.
