This was our first time staying at a vacation rental and we are hooked! Lucia, the owner, was so helpful and responsive to any needs and inquiries from day one. We felt so comfortable dealing with Lucia and I can definitively say we were in good hands.
I asked Lucia to help arrange transportation for our family of six from the airport to the apartment and everything went well and the price of the taxi was reasonable. Lucia even bought a pizza for my mom as she was very hungry after a long flight from the US.
The apartment was very roomy for our family as there was more than enough space to relax without feeling cramped. There's a kitchen with stove and fridge but no microwave. It was very convenient to cook breakfast, lunch or dinner and and allowed us to ease into the different time zone. The apartment is super clean.
The location is fantastic and within walking distance of so many sights. Our family, ranging from a ten year old to seventy three year old, had no problem walking to sites like the Vatican, Pantheon and Piazza Navona to name a few. There's a good sized farmers market nearby with an amazing selection of Fruits and vegetables and plenty of restaurants and shops. We felt very safe and secure in the building. I would caution, though, that you need to be careful when stepping out from the apartment to the street as you are literally faced with cars zipping by when you exit the gate.
The place is furnished with charming furniture and Lucia also provided snacks like Nutella and cookies and coffee. My teenagers especially appreciated the wifi. One of the sleeping areas is in a loft that has a very steep and narrow stairway. It's not a problem as long as you take it slow...the bathroom floor downstairs can also get slippery, so be extra careful.
We cannot wait to come back to get to know more of Roma and it's people. We spent a week in the apt and our experience with the people was wonderful. We felt so much hospitality and being able to go see the Pope and be captivated by the magnificent art throughout the city was a life changing experience.
Truly one of, if not the best, vacation ever!!
