My family of 5 stayed in the Hearth of Rome for a week in October 2014. We would recommend the apartment, and particularly Anna its hostess, to anyone.
The apartment on a tree lined street, directly in front of a light rail stop, so once you acclimate to Roma’s mass transit you can get anywhere you want.
Anna is a very gracious hostess who supplied us with a lesson on making espresso upon our arrival, as well as various foods for breakfast. The apartment is VERY spacious and gets a great breeze in the living room and master bed room, which was much appreciated in the unusually hot october weather. Even during an unfortunately Internet outage Anna worked every day contacting the phone company to try to get phones and Internet functioning.
If you are unfamiliar with Roma it would probably be wise to bring some paper maps. Relying on the wireless internet alone for getting maps and trip planning could leave you using more cellular data than you had planned.
We very much enjoyed out time in the Hearth of Rome, and would gladly stay there again.
Thanks Anna!
