What a great weekend in a great place for a great price. The pictures are just like the apartment - very nicely furnished, spacious and comfortable. The apartment is on the 4th floor of a building (with an elevator) on a fairly quiet street at the North side of Rome. You are a 2 minute walk to the #62 bus which will take you straight to the Vatican (about a 15 min bus ride). You are a 10 min walk to the double decker tour bus stop, near the American Embassy. Very easy walking everywhere. Fernando took the time to show us on a map where all the hot spots were, how the buses run, and most important where to not go!!!

On the street there are 3 good, reasonably priced restaurants with outside seating. There are 3 good gelato shops within 2 blocks of the apartment that the kids loved. Very comfortable. Parking is a bit tight, but Fernando was able to get us a parking spot right in front of the building (I think we were just lucky!!!) Parking costs about 4 euro for 8 hrs - Sundays are free. The street is fairly quiet, not a lot of traffic running back and forth, and no late night party people wandering the streets - enjoyable for the family.

The kids enjoyed the piano and free WIFI, and Fernando was wonderful, even asked my daughter to play for him just before we left.

Even for being in the summer, we did not need the a/c very much. With the windows open there was enough breeze to keep the place cool. The apartment is stocked with all of the cookware you would need for 2 families.

We will be coming back with the rest of our family (Fernando - keep a spot open for us this winter!!!). Hope you have a great time like our family did. Thank you Fernando and Buona Fortuna!
