Our family of three enjoyed this perfect room and the hospitality of Roberta and her son (who we arranged to pick us up from the airport). The room is nicely equipped with anything needed to prepare a meal and, upon arrival, Roberta had left us some drinks and fruit. The room has plenty of guidebooks to learn more about the city and DVDs to keep you entertained. If you speak English, the TV stations are limited as are the DVDs, but the room is so perfectly situated, you would much rather have a gelato down the street than sit inside anyway, right? There are plenty of places to grab a t-shirt or other souvenirs nearby, but the area is not touristy. As you exit the apartment around the corner to the right, there is a lovely cafe with delicious cappuccinos and pastries too. There is a Carrefour grocery about a block or so away and we got wine, cheese, bread and olives to enjoy at the bistro table in the room each afternoon. If it is your thing, there is a McDonalds across the street. The metro station is at the end of the block too! Everything in the apartment is new and nicely decorated. The WIFI was generally reliable, as was the hot water, and air-conditioning. Roberta was so kind to check in via email and ask if we needed anything frequently. I would definitely return tomorrow if I could. It was wonderful!
