| My family and I booked the entire apartment for a week and just loved it. The apartment is gorgeous, spotless, and fully equipped--even with a washer/dryer. Everything in it is brand new. Each of the bedrooms has its own TV and ensuite bathroom plus there's a half bath in the hall. The bedrooms have air conditioning units but we never had to use it as the apartment stayed nice and cool with all the beautiful marble flooring. The apartment's location is perfect as the bus stop is just a few steps away and will take you to all the major sites of Rome in 15 minutes. Claudia, the owner, was wonderful. She arranged for her brother Raymond to pick us up and drop us off at the airport. On our way to the apartment, at our request, Raymond drove us to the supermarket, ATM machine, helped us purchase our weekly metro/bus pass, and showed us all around the lovely, upscale, quiet neighborhood. Claudia was waiting at the apartment when we arrived with the kitchen table set with china, home baked cakes, tiramisu and tea. She and Raymond were incredibly helpful, gave us their cellphone numbers, and made themselves available to us 24/7. Claudia gave us bus information and restaurant recommendations. The best meal we had during our week was at a local restaurant Claudia told us about just one block away from the apartment. We could not have asked for any better hosts than Claudia and Raymond who took such good care of us. We have travelled extensively and the personalized service given by them made our Roman holiday one of the best family trips we have ever had. I highly recommend the Bella Luna apartment and hope to return there again some day. |
