Couldn't have had a better located flat in Rome: close to all major conveniences, attractions (Forum, Colosseo are mere steps away), bars and restaurants. It is close enough to the historic center without having to drown in all the tourist traps that line that trail. The flat itself was simply decorated but very comfortable with everything one would need to prepare meals and feel at home. The food in Rome is simple and home cooked and if one is comfortable in the kitchen, one could save a lot of money (and have fun) preparing meals. I absolutely appreciated the local/independent shops in the area. When I return to Rome I will definitely stay w Valentina again. Thank you!
