Dear Margherita, My daughter and I stayed in your apartment during our recent visit to Rome. The apartment was immaculate and well situated for our stay. You were a lovely hostess and I would recommend the apartment and you to anyone wanting efficiency and convenience over high priced hotels. It was lovely to have the ability to heat up some of our delicious leftovers - although I used the kitchen less than I expected as the breakfast pastries in Italy are irresistable! Thank you again.
