We did not want to say, "Arrivederci Roma", after spending 9 glorious days there during our Easter vacation.
For us the property's location was perfect. The Vatican, the Metro, taxi stand and bus stops were all within a short walking distance. The apartment was spacious, clean and bright.
Roberto promptly answered our many questions online and arranged for transportation to and from the airport. He met us upon our arrival, and on a map of the local area, pointed out the fresh market, grocery stores and supermarket. We also asked for restaurant, pizzeria and gelateria recommendations in the neighborhood, all of which we tried and thoroughly enjoyed. The neighborhood was plentiful with shops, selling both touristy items and finer items as well.
Our only issue with the apartment was the lack of enough comfortable lounging seating for our group of 8. There were 2 plush chairs in the kitchen area, but that's all. The only other seating areas were on the kitchen chairs. More living room type of seating can fit in either the large kitchen or in the front area/room of a separate bedroom. There are benches built into the wall in that space but we used them as tables since they were not very comfortable.
The beds were very comfortable. We were a group of 4 adults and 4 children. There were enough true beds spaces to sleep 7 (3 queens and 1 twin). One child slept on a cot with no problems though I don't know if an adult would be comfortable on a cot for 9 nights.
Overall, the apartment was perfect for our group. Roberto was fantastic....a true Roman host!
