Short summary - this is a wonderful place, very spacious with all the amenities one wants. The hostess Gabriella clearly enjoys providing this service and it showed in the way the she has kept this place, and in the manner she had prepared it for our stay.
We stayed here for 5 nights and there were 6 of us - all adults. The apartment is located just off of a not-so-busy street with
a few grocery shops and 2-3 restaurants very close by. There are a lot more of these within a 0.5 - 0.8 mile radius. The nearest Metro is also about 0.5 miles and was very convenient to access.
We arrived around 7pm on a Sunday, and our hostess Gabriella was there to receive us with cookies and cakes! She was very helpful and approachable, and took the time to explain everything to us. As she showed us around the 3 spacious bedrooms, and the kitchen stocked with coffee, tea and biscuits, we could clearly see she was very passionate about this. Needless to say, our first impression of her and the place were very good and remained so for the entire duration of our stay.
The 3 bedrooms are quite spacious and definitely comfortable enough for 6 adults. One of the bedrooms has an attached full bath (shower, toilet and sink). There are two more full baths outside for guests in the other 2 bedrooms to share. All bedrooms and bathrooms were very clean and well stocked up.
The kitchen was stocked up with lots of utensils, plates, cups and wine glasses. Although we did not cook our own food, we did make use of the coffee, tea and other snacks. The kitchen also had a dishwasher, a microwave oven, a toaster,
and a drip coffee maker - all in good working condition.
Walking to/from the Metro station (Furio Camillo) was a breeze, and from there, the train ride to other important stations (Termini, Spagna, Flaminio and Colosseo) around
the city center took about 15 minutes or so. The ride to Vatican (Ottaviano) was about 20 mins. Each one-way trip was euro 1.50 (and you can buy a one-day pass as well).
Couple of important points: First, Gabriella is very approachable. We had been in touch with her via Whatsapp and this was very helpful. So if you have any questions, try reaching out to her directly even before you book this place. Second, the photos of bedrooms and the bathrooms
are exactly what you see when you are there!!
Overall, we had a GREAT time in Rome and really enjoyed our stay here. I would definitely recommend this place without any hesitation.
