This Little house in Rome turned out to be perfect for my girlfriend and I.
1. The hosts.
Emanuela and Stefano couldn't have done more for us. They picked us up from Ciampino on a Saturday night as our flight landed quite late, and even dropped us off again. In addition, Emanuela took us both to Tivoli for a nice 4 hour visit one day, and then we all went later that evening for a nice meal in the Testaccio neighbourhood. Emanuela was always available on what's app to check on how things were going without being intrusive. Perfect hosts. Emanuela's son Mattia was very patient in teaching my girlfriend some Italian.
2. The house
As stated, very new house with everything needed for a comfortable stay. Spotlessly clean when we arrived, with water in fridge and selection of biscotti. Cleaning equipment, iron and table, hairdryer all provided. Good shower and hot water always available. Nice comfortable, thick mattress as well. Free wifi which is always useful to sit and plan your days. If you like to sit out in afternoon, the outside space with table and chairs is a wee sun trap and clothes dry quickly. Really couldn't have asked for anything else for our stay.
3. Neighbourhood
Good wee selection of bars and places to eat. Try Cantino Rossi, Chicco's and Beerstyle to name but a few. Quiet at night to sleep and my girlfriend and I felt completely safe. Although it is in the suburbs, it really is quite easy to get anywhere using trams, buses, metro lines or a combination of all 3. We both bought a 7 day pass at €24 each and that was us sorted.
All in all we couldn't be happier with our choice. We will certainly use this place again if we return to Rome. Be nice to see them all again (and Raul the dog)
