Cristiano was brilliant, we were in contact several times prior to us arriving via email and txt. Valerio met us and showed us around the apartment providing a map and list of best restaurants in the area and the directions and distances.

They were both very kind to provide us with a bottle of bubbly to celebrate our engagement which was a lovely personal touch.

The apartment itself was perfectly located 15 mins walk to the center of Rome and the Colosseum. The apartment is surround by local restaurants which are ideal to soak up the local atmosphere and cuisine.

The only slight down side was the noise from the street, unfortunately there were a group of young travelers which walked past the apartment on separate nights chanting and singing which woke us. however this looks to be a once off and should not put you off.

Overall we couldn't have asked for better hosts, apartment or city to celebrate our engagement.
