Before we even left for our holiday, the lovely Silvana took care of us by making sure we knew how to get easily from Fiumucino airport to the apartment. Once we got there, her daughter met us and guided us around the apartment, so we felt well looked after.
The apartment itself was a perfect size for the two of us, and we were grateful for such powerful air conditioning as it was incredibly hot by noon! The kitchen had what we needed to cater for ourselves when we didn't go out to eat, including a lot of things like pasta, rice, passata, etc. Silvana even left us a bottle of prosecco, which was a thoughtful touch and enjoyed greatly!
The bed was comfortable, the sofa was comfortable, and the little balcony was fabulous for sitting out on at night, watching the world go by below us. I can't really say enough good things about the apartment itself because it was a perfect, clean, tidy, beautifully kept little haven to return to after exploring the wonders Rome has to offer.
Vitally for us, it is within VERY easy reach of some wonderful eateries that could cater for my gluten free diet (I'm coeliac). Just a couple of minutes away is Fatamorgana, a gelataria where everything is gluten free. No more than five minutes away is Mama Eat, which has a dedicated gluten free kitchen. Next door to Fatamorgana is Il Tulipano Nero, with an extensive gluten free menu.
In terms of location, we honestly couldn't have asked for better. We had such a wonderful time that I'm rather ashamed it's taken me so long to write the review. I hope they will allow us back one day for another holiday. It was the perfect home away from home and leaving it took a great deal of effort!
Oh, and as a sidebar, if you can, stop by Rome For You and rent a bicycle (electric bikes available). It is nearby and we had a fabulous day cycling around Rome, as far as Villa Borghese and back. Locks included. And once you've done that, you'll be glad of the soothing, incredible shower in the apartment!
