Staying at Maria Giovanna / Eleonora’s apartment is like staying in an apartment that belongs to your family, full of comfort and personality (not the aesthetic apartments that populate AirBnb). It gives you the sensation that you could stay there for much longer because it feels and looks like home, immersed in a true Roman neighborhood - away from the crowds but close enough to walk to everything.
The host, Eleonora (Maria Giovanna’s daughter) went above and beyond during every step of our stay:
1. She shared a very thoughtful list of things to do in Rome prior to our arrival;
2. She contacted us beforehand to check if the apartment configuration would be the best fit for our family;
3. Check-in was perfect - easy and with a very warm welcome from Eleonora;
4. She prepared all sorts of maps and gave us a thorough guidance on where to go in Rome and how to use public transportation;
5. The apartment was super furnished with muffins, cookies, milk, orange juice for the kids and a red wine for the adults;
6. Eleonora contacted us everyday to check if we needed something and arranged our excellent transfer to Fiumicino Airport.
The apartment itself was perfect sized for our family: it was comfortable and spacious enough for 2 adults and 2 kids and wonderfully decorated; the bathroom and kitchen were super equipped (including a washer); the terrace is cozy for breakfast; high-speed wifi; silent and powerful air conditioners (a MUST in Rome in the summer).
In summary: when we return to Rome this is the place where we want to stay again. If you have the chance just book it - this is a true Roman gem!
Grazie mille Eleonora!
