The location was absolutely perfect for us, just a short walk north of Piazza del Popolo, the Flaminio tram and Linea A metro stop are quick and easy to reach. Villa Borghese is a mere 5 minute walk once you step out of the apartment door. The house and gardens radiate throughout with pride of ownership and all of the neighbors were delightful and friendly. The groundskeeper is clearly good at what he does and it shows. The building is historic and simply beautiful to look at, both indoor and outdoor. The beds were very comfortable and the rooms very spacious. It was exactly as described and pictured. Marina was a gracious and accommodating host, making our week-long stay in Rome an absolute delight. Marina received us at the front gate, allowing a slightly early check-in on account of our train arrival. After giving us a tour of the lovely 3-bedroom, 2-bath apartment, Marina spent the next 90 minutes personally guiding us through her neighborhood pointing out the buildings, trams, metros, streets, shops, delis, restaurants, grocers and just about everything we laid our eyes. She even took us to the local Carrefour and helped us pick out the right, bread, wine, salumi, cheese and other staple goods we enjoyed during our stay. We were simply amazed at how welcoming and gracious Marina was with her time and knowledge. Marina is an accomplished and consummate host, providing guests with a written guidebook in multiple languages that offers tips and info on everything from wifi, things to do, places to see, including activities for families and young children, and so on. Her professionalism and consideration shine through. We were very pleased and our expectations were far and away exceeded by her generosity and collegiality, and accommodations that made our stay comfortable and relaxing. As a special bonus, Marina stepped us through her private garden and generously gave us fresh mint, basil and sage from her herb garden. What a special treat! Marina is simply a joy and has an infectious laugh and smile. We really lucked in! Communication with Marina was easy; responses were immediate, complete and super helpful. Marina suggested several transport routes to the various places we would visit, including the Vatican and other parts of historic Rome. I would definitely return and recommend this place to my family. Thank you Marina for a fantastic stay in your beautiful home. Arrivederci.
