Diana S. - Indiana
The accommodations were spectacular. I highly recommend "Renata" to anyone visiting Rome. We were centrally located, able to walk everywhere we wanted to go, yet on a quiet street. The apartment has every convenience a guest might desire including a/c, television, washing machine. My son takes Latin in school and has studied quite a bit of Roman history so the high point of the visit for my family was definitely the ancient ruins. We used the Roma Pass to avoid lines at the Colosseum and the other sites and I definitely recommend it. We had practically no wait at all. We did not take tours but used the Rick Steves guidebook tours to navigate the sites. I highly recommend his Rome book. We also enjoyed the Vatican. Although crowded, we avoided waiting in line by going after lunch around 2:00. The museum of Rome was very good and not crowded. It provides some history of the ancient Roman period.
The owner of the apartment suggested several neighborhood restaurants and we ate at a few of them. All of our meals were good. As for shops, Renata is definitely in the upscale designer district. There is a nice department store nearby that is a bit more reasonable...La Rinascente, I think. We bought groceries at the store at the end of the road as suggested by the apartment owner. She is delightful and very helpful.
