Rome is not a city, it is a world. The german writer Goethe who lived here for two years said: "There is only one Rome in the world … only in Rome is it possible to understand Rome." ... and all this is true. Rome is unique. You couldn't compare Rome with other cities. It is impossible.
Barbara' place is in the Heart of Rome, Trastevere, and the location is just perfect for visiting Rome. The tram is right near the building and the best coffee in town is round the corner.
For visiting Rome you need at least one week, but 10 days it would be perfect.
Barbara is very kind and the apartament is simply perfect. I recommend this place with all my heart.
