Miryam and Giovanna's place definitely exceeded our expectations.
Checking in was great. We were allowed to check in early, which was very welcome after a long flight. When we checked in we were given a tour of the place and tips on the surrounding areas, including some great restaurant recommendations for places nearby.
The location is excellent -- definitely within walking distance of all major sites. But, it is just far enough away from all those places that you get to enjoy an area that is a bit quieter and not as touristy. There are multiple great places to eat everything from fancy sit-down meals to (really good) pizza by the slice, coffee, and gelato nearby. Lots of great places within about two or three blocks. A taxi stand is also about a block away- this is invaluable.
The place itself was very well designed and decorated, extremely clean, and stocked with the necessities (including some breakfast items- very thoughtful). The bed was larger than we expected and was comfortable. The air conditioning worked better than we expected- something that was very welcome in late July in Rome. Lots of storage for bags and clothes. Also, it was great having a washing machine, as we were in Italy for over a week. The one downfall I suppose is that the place is on the fourth floor or so -- so some stair climbing is required. But we had no problem with that. This is a great place, and we would highly recommend and would stay here again for sure!
