We loved our stay at this wonderful apartment and Francesca made every detail so easy for us. She is truly the most helpful and friendly host! Our family of two parents and three older teens traveled from the U.S. to visit our college student who was studying in Rome. Francesca arranged our transport from the airport which helped tremendously. She met us at the apartment for a seamless check-in, and showed us where to buy food for the kitchen. She also helped us decipher travel options to Trastevere to meet our daughter. While bus and subway are very convenient to the apartment, there was no direct route, so taxi was best. We used the FreeNow app to order taxis and found it to be very easy. The drivers met us outside the apartment and payment went directly through the app. We loved being just a block or two from the Colosseum, Palatine Hill, and the Roman Forum. We took tours of all of them and also enjoyed evening walks to view the ruins under the lights. We also walked to the Basilica di San Giovanni in Laterano and the Sancta Sanctorum, less than a mile away. These were fascinating for an impromptu self tour. You can see the statues on the top of the basilica from the apartment roof deck. During our week we also toured Trastevere, the Vatican, the Jewish Ghetto, and the Baths of Diocletian, all easy to reach by taxi from the apartment. We did laundry and learned that we needed to plan for air-drying time, but we were so happy to have this option in the apartment. We wondered if we would be ok having one bathroom for a family of 5, but it was never a problem. The bathroom was well stocked and the shower was great - it is a very comfortable and clean bathroom. We slept well on the beds. Our son stayed on the fold-out couch and said he could feel the bar through the mattress (in case anyone needs that info) but he was fine and had no problem sleeping. Our oldest daughter had schoolwork to complete, so she loved the office nook where she wrote a paper at the desk and read assignments in the reading chair. We all loved sitting on the rooftop deck. It is just a wonderful space. We spent one morning in just enjoying the deck - oh! - there is a cappuccino machine. We loved having cappuccino or espresso on the deck. Francesca helped us get more coffee when we ran out (ha!). Finally, my husband and kids love superheroes, so the kitchen cabinets with superhero designs were a lot of fun for our family. We will definitely return if we can!!
