Very clean, well maintained and comfortable apartment with pleasant hosts. We stayed just a little over a week. There are multiple grocery stores, cafes, (yummy) pastry shops and fruit/veggie stands located within blocks of the apartment. It took us about 35+ minutes to walk up to the Forum area, and about 11 minutes to reach the Piazza Re Roma Metro station. The Metro makes it very easy to get around Rome (much faster than the bus!). (And definitely check out Pompi, near the Pizza Re Roma, for pastries, espresso and tiramisu. Great spot to stop at on your way home from sight seeing.) A few of the nights in the apartment we did get woken up by a baby crying upstairs. Earplugs solved this problem. Babies learn to sleep through the night, so this is only a momentary issue. Overall we were very happy with the apartment and highly recommend it! We really appreciated how clean and spacious it felt, and the little extra touches- food to welcome us, extra towels and blankets, maps and directions- the hosts have put into the place. Thank you Michele for a great stay in Roma!
