Everything about Rita's place was perfect and exactly as advertised (or better!). She was very friendly and welcoming, and gave advice and a local map. The apt was sparkling clean and in excellent, brand-new condition. Everything worked well, including the heating (A/C was not tested as it was very cool outside). The small kitchenette area was very functional, new and modern. I did not do any cooking, but it is well set to do so with lots of kitchen supplies and utensils. The combo clothes washer/dryer was fabulous, and there is a small dishwasher. The bathroom/shower was immaculate, larger than expected, and plenty of hot water. Lots of well thought out amenities, even some wine and snacks which were very well received. The location is great, with good food, bars (coffee), grocery, daily market & ATMs. There is even a gluten-free restaurant, "Mama Eat" so close you can see it through the window. Close to tram & bus lines as well as being close enough to walk into the center of Rome or the Vatican. Even though the neighborhood is active at night, the room is quiet; you can open windows for air & sound, close them, and also close shutters if you like the room dark. The unit is on the 3rd floor but there is a modern elevator so no need to carry heavy luggage up the stairs. Beds were VERY comfortable. TV works fine and received many Italian channels. All in all a perfect apt in a perfect location, with a perfect hostess. Thank you Rita!!
