I am a repeat guest which perhaps says it all. This is the place to stay while in Rome, without doubt. From Caterina's warm and gracious hospitality, to the beautiful apartment, awesome neighborhood in a perfect location, it makes for an ideal stay. The apartment is in a classic 19th century building with an ole'-style cage elevator, yet spotlessly clean and comfy inside …a blend of modern (the bathroom) and antique character. The neighborhood is a couple blocks from the river and next to the Vatican making for quick and easy access by foot to all the hot-spot destinations, but giving you a chance to escape the crowds and the tourist prices, and feel like a local for a bit. Bus, Metro, taxis are all nearby. The neighborhood restaurants (Porto & La Zanzara) are excellent, the best! It's a block from Via Cola di Rienzo which is perhaps the best shopping in Rome, at real prices. And Caterina? She's awesome with all her help, her tips and kindness. A great stay. Grazie, Caterina!
