First, Simona was a wonderful hostess. She had everything we needed. Met us earlier than check-in. Bravo...
VRBO was able to work with us to extend our stay two additional days. Bravo...
The #32 Apartment was perfect. It is exactly as it is described. It is truly a little Trastevere Romantic Terraced Apartment. The neighbors were incredibly friendly and supportive. Absolutely convenient to the airport, train station and buses.
This will be dedicated to the future parents of ISU students studying abroad for the semester. The end of April to May 10 is a perfect time to visit Rome. The weather was incredible. A couple of light rain showers and one small (pea-size) hail for 5-mins.
If your student stays in the ISU designated hostel on the north side of the McDonald's this Trastevere Romantic Terraced Apartment is ideal to meet up with them. Yes, McDonald's sells Peroni beer with Happy Meals.
Now, the walk from your student's hostel is 30 to 45-min walk. We did this several times to participate in the review and end-of-semester party. That was wonderful to see all the student's projects. Meraviglioso.
As for sightseeing, you can walk upto 8- to 12-miles a day. We would recommend doing that. You will hit retails and boutique shops, food (pizza/vino/gelato) shops.
You can cook, or just enjoy Espresso in the mornings and vino in the evenings on your private open patio. Ciao... Go Cyclones...
