We had an incredible stay in Rome, and no doubt that’s due to the location and quality of Giacomo’s apartment. Coming from NYC and having never been to Rome, we had a few people describe it to us as “very touristy” and “like Times Square” — but that was not our experience at all, in part because of the authenticity of the neighborhood and surrounding neighborhoods to the apartment. We walked everywhere, to major tourist sites and through great surrounding streets. Giacomo left us some recommendations for restaurants, streets, and areas that are off the beaten path, which we followed and we’re not disappointed by. Inside the apartment — the bathroom! Such a luxury and I’m now dreaming up how I can design something similar in my future home. The apartment had everything we needed, and the picture window in the living room was a breathtaking sight every time we passed it. We also spent some time on the balcony, taking in the wonderful views. When we return to Rome, we will definitely stay here again.
