Stefano and Elena are great hosts. I wouldn't hesitate to stay there again when we return to Rome and would recommend this place to anyone considering it.

Our stay at High Garden with Stefano and his girlfriend was nothing short of fantastic. (Can you spot a fellow Game of Thrones fan when you see one?) The name is used in reference to their beautiful balcony/patio area with potted flowers and plants.

We opted for the pick-up option (for a fee) and they were right there to pick us up at the airport.

Location: very convenient and only minutes away from the metro. It was a great location to get in and out of Vatican City and Rome, away from the hustle and bustle. On the first day, Elena provided us with all the key information we needed to easily use and get around on the metro.

Accommodations: their apartment is large and beautifully decorated. Our room was perfect with its own bathroom, a comfortable bed, and a small TV. We had semi-private access to the balcony, which was partitioned off. We had our own keys to come in and out as we pleased. We were also given a large bottle of water with two cups and a bottle of wine with two glasses! (Thank you!)

Breakfast: simple continental breakfast with several options. Mostly packaged foods and cereal with fruit and juice options, which was all we needed to start our day. Stefano made coffee and an espresso for us.

Other relevant info: our flight was cancelled by Vueling 2 days before it was supposed to leave. Unfortunately, it meant that we had to rebook a flight out of Rome 1 day earlier. I wasn't able to cancel the additional night per Stefano; but I thought that was fair because they allowed us to keep our bags there until the flight and did not rent out the room to anyone else.

Stefano and Elena, thank you so much for a wonderful stay!
