My wife and I rented the Flower Apartment from October to December of 2014, and we really enjoyed our stay there. Although the apartment is located in Monteverde outside the Centro Storico, the location is excellent-- the apartment is one block away from the #8 tram, a 20-minute ride that takes you through Trastevere to Piazza Venezia whenever you want to go into central Rome. Busses to the Vatican and the Gianicolo are also easy to catch. Also, the apartment is one block away from an excellent outdoor market where you can buy the freshest fruits, vegetables, meats, cheeses, and breads. A family-owned Sicilian restaurant, Mediterraneo, with great food is nextdoor—we ate there six times! Around the corner is a great gelato shop, Tony’s, which we could never resist. The apartment itself is on the fifth floor with no elevator, but we didn’t mind the climb too much to the comfortable accommodations. The kitchen is fully equipped, although there’s no microwave oven; the heating and air conditioning worked well; and the washing machine, while a little quirky, was soon solved and cleaned our clothes well. The bedroom and living room are roomy and comfortable, but the nicest feature is the plant and flower-decorated terrace, on which we enjoyed many relaxing meals and glasses of wine. We also found ourselves enjoying the tasteful and stylish photos, artworks, and books throughout the apartment. A helpful feature is the desktop computer that has Skype and is useful for finding bus routes and museum information. The owner and her staff were always very helpful, but more than helpful, they were kind, friendly, hospitable, and understanding—people that we came to love then and we miss now. When our last day at the Flower Apartment came, we did not want to leave; it truly felt like home.
