Raffaella's place was perfect for our spring break trip to Rome! The place is spacious, clean, and comfortable and had everything that we could need. Raffaella and her son, Gabriele, who met us to check us in, even provided a big chocolate Easter egg and traditional Easter cake for the kids -- they were thrilled! The apartment is not as close to the center as some other places, but it's right near the Quattro Venti train station (which has a perfectly decent restaurant next door, called Q20), so you can hop on there and get wherever you need -- the train from there goes directly to the Vatican, super easy, or you can go in the opposite direction to a stop where you can access other train lines, including the Metro. There is also a taxi stop just a few blocks away; we found taxis to be pretty affordable and easy vs. paying for our family of four to take public transportation. Highly recommend this place -- we would stay here again!
