If you're looking for somewhere to stay in Rome that is close to center city but just far enough away that you are able to sit on the balcony and relax... look no further!! Ms. Anastasia has you covered!
First about the home... having two bathrooms was great! However, the showers are smaller than what most Americans are used to. Good news, the hot water lasted, the water pressure was good, and there was never an issue. I will say however, the hair dryers are more along the lines of a hotel dryer.. so if you have thick hair, you may want to bring your own dryer. I loved the different containers for recycling! The bedrooms were so very comfortable and the AC units kept the rooms cool all night! Having the balcony that over looked a less than busy intersection was spectacular! Being able to sit on the patio and unwind after a long day of walking was phenomenal. We spent the majority of our time outside. Having a washing machine was very convenient. Ms. Anastasia also provided umbrellas and supermarket bags for us to use! Everything was well organized and comfortable.
Ms. Anastasia was so kind and helpful during our trip! Ms. Anastasia met us at the door, showed us around the home, and offered us small snacks and souvenirs. She was very easy to contact, called us taxis when we needed, and recommended several different tourist & local attractions to visit.
Location.. Ms. Anastasia's home is beyond convenient to everything! Some of the locals told us were more towards the college area. Which was great for finding local bars to grab a beer at. To the left of the patio at night you see several different locations open to stop in for pizza or a beer. We stopped in one spot along that small strip where the locals were and for one draft beer and three tall beers... it was only 12 Euros (super affordable) !! There is also a small place across the street named Osteria Pesce Fritto e Baccala. If you want local pasta, very nice people, delicious wine, and a great time.. check them out!! The Colosseum is about a 30 minute walk and if you're visiting the Vatican, you'll want a taxi. The train station is very close to Ms. Anastasia's home also (which is great for a day trip to Florence)! There's also a small store near the home for anything needed (drinks, toiletries, snacks, etc).
Please do yourself a favor & stay with Ms. Anastasia! You will not be disappointed! She is helpful, has a beautiful home, very reasonable on pricing especially for the quality, and the home/location is extremely relaxing.
