Virginia is the most wonderful host anyone could ask for and the apartment met and exceeded our every expectation! After a long, exhausting flight, Virginia met us at the property and was so cheerful and had so many helpful tips for us as to where to eat, how to navigate public transport, etc., that we felt instantly better! She told us not to hesitate to contact her with any further questions and you could tell she meant it. When we did have a question, she responded quickly and had answers at the ready! The location was perfect. My husband had business nearby and was able to walk to work. I was able to walk to all the major attractions, but did take the metro to the Vatican. I felt safe in walking alone, even when coming home at dusk. The shop keepers in the area are very friendly and patient with those of us not fluent in Italian. Almost all speak English. The area is not touristy, so we enjoyed wonderful meals and shopping in a less crowded, more relaxed environment. The apartment was clean, spacious, and had everything we needed. We didn't cook in, but if you were so inclined, all the basics were there for you and there is a grocery store around the corner. We slept with our window open and noise was not an issue for either one of us. Virgina kept saying, "the holiday must be perfect", and she really is committed to making it so! Our only regret is that we couldn't stay longer! We would love to come back and stay again!
