Our stay in this apartment was wonderful! First things first: We were picked up from the airport by a taxi sent by our host. The driver was kind and welcoming and the price for the taxi was beyond reasonable. Emedeo, our host, welcomed us into the apartment which was neat and clean and set up with almost everything that might be needed in a temporary home away from home.
The apartment is strategically located: only a short walk from a well stocked supermarket, the train station, the pharmacy, and dozens of restaurants (one of our favorites, McQueens is right around the corner from the apartment! ). We shopped and cooked for some of our meals and treats and the train station made it super easy for us to get around to all the main sites in Rome and beyond.
The apartment is on the 5th floor but there is a lift if you dread taking the stairs or if you are unable. There are a few little things that would increase the comfort level in this apartment: a full length mirror in the first bedroom would help with dressing ( the other bedroom has one) ; a flat spatula for flipping eggs or burgers and a cookie sheet for baking would help in the kitchen.
All in all, this is indeed a beautiful, safe, clean gem of an apartment that is ideally located to provide access to all of Rome and beyond! Emedeo is a great host. A tip to save money: Be sure to let him set up your taxi from and to the airport!
