Checking in was lovely, there was apple streusel and cookies waiting for us after a long flight. Host couldn’t have been nicer. The apartment was super clean and the view was spectacular. A couple of small things I think are important for future travelers: there is no oven or microwave as shown on the listing, you kind of feel like you’re in someone’s home (it’s adjacent to her apartment so we could hear the dog barking very early in the morning, her going in / out since there is a shared hall) etc, and while we were out she did enter the apartment twice (once to turn the lights off and once to put a Christmas wreath inside) which I just found slightly odd. The location was more outside the heart of Rome than I thought but that’s just me not doing my research. We spent a bit more on transportation than planned. Seeing the Vatican every morning was beautiful, we were given fresh towels half way through our stay which was nice and all in all; this was a great place to call home for a week.
