Denia is a great host, super responsive and keen to make sure you have a great time in her home, small touches like arranging airport transfers and looking after our luggage after checkout really allow you to relax and focus on enjoying her home and the city. The apartment was unique in terms of layout with loft style sleeping areas, and worked really well for our family of 5 with three teenagers. The best part of the apartment was the pool and outside eating/social area which was spacious, private and a great space to relax after a days marching around the city and absorbing culture. We also made good use of the table football room, something the whole family could enjoy together. The local area has many great places to eat, drink, and get groceries and we were given some valuable recommendations by Amos on arrival which we made good use of. We decided to use the metro rather than bus and found Bologna station a quick 15 mins stroll away, passing a great gelato parlour on the way home which we frequented daily. A great base for exploring Rome with the family.
