Our stay was fantastic. The flat was exceptionally clean. The hostess left a wonderful bowl of fruit, a cake and some Spumanti as a welcome, which after the difficult day we had getting there, was much appreciated. The beds were comfortable and the bathroom sparkling with plenty of hot water. Having a washer was very helpful since we were traveling with small suitcases. The apartment is within a comfortable walk of the Vatican Museums and very close to a Metro station. There were several restaurants in the neighborhood, a cafe and a friendly Mercato and even a larger market. The outer door to the building is locked so we felt extremely safe. And there was even a small elevator for those days we were so tired from all our walking about Roma that we didn't want to walk up stairs! Marina was available by phone for help with directions. She left maps and tourist info in the kitchen for us. She even helped us out by printing our boarding passes for us when our phones didn't want to cooperate with the airline website. The only issue was the wifi. And since we experienced that throughout Italy I think it was our American phones more than her wifi. We hope to return to Roma and will definitely look forward to using Marina's flat again.
