We were a party of eight adults traveling first to Rome and then on to Florence to celebrate my 60th birthday. I was put in charge of picking the property we would stay at while in Rome. I cannot say enough about my whole experience with Federica. From the first email to inquire about the apartment to her driving to meet us after we left her property to hand deliver a cell phone one of our guests left behind. She is a pleasure.
The apartment was lovely as well! The location was perfect; from the balcony, you can see the wall to the Vatican and tops of some of the structures inside, so walking to there is very easy. The apartment is approximately four blocks to the metro station & four/five stops to the Colosseum. FYI: be ready for a crowded ride in the morning but still we found the metro was the best way to travel to the Colosseum area.
We loved the apartment. Very clean and beautifully appointed. The highlight was the pantry kitchen which is fully equipped and stocked for a quick breakfast [cereals, croissants, waffles …] before heading out or for a cappuccino after a long day of touring. **Best coffee machine ever! Bathrooms clean and spacious and clean towels everyday [if needed]. The beds comfortable and abundant blankets if needed.
I would recommend Federica setting up transportation from the airport to the apartment as we did. The driver was at the airport waiting [for our two-hour late flight] and was very pleasant and informative. We also asked that Federica have a light lunch for our arrival…it was perfect; cheeses, meats, breads and of course, wine!
Once again, I cannot say enough about Federica. My emails were answered quickly and she was totally accommodating to any/all of my requests. When one of our guests left their cell phone behind I had no fear that Federica would work with us to retrieve the phone which made us all rest easy at our second destination in Florence.
I would highly recommend Federica’s property to any travels and if I ever return to Rome, there would be no question where I would stay.
