EntriesEurope Trip Planning – Where We’re Staying in Rome, Italy
Rome is the last city we’ll be visiting in Italy and three of our four nights will spent inside an apartment. We ordered a place through a company called RentalinRome.com and the apartment we have is called the Crivellucci Apartment. There was a bit of discontinuity between myself and our agent, after giving them our deposit via Paypal we lost communication for a week. After calling their office in Rome, the confirmation and contact details were sent to us the next day. According to them, they had send an email but I never got it. It’s hard to say who is at fault there. However, from just the pictures, the place looks nice and should be a pleasant stay.
The apartment sleeps 4 as it has a double bed and a sofa bed. There is also air condition, washing machine, TV, bathroom & shower and a fully equipped kitchen. All features that will keep keep our trip costs down.
Will the place look exactly like in the photos, we hope so! The apartment is located at the east end of town, it’s not extremely close to the attractions but the metro system will let us cover a fair bit of ground with ease.
On our final night in Rome, the plan is to just hang around town until we can take a bus from Termini station to the airport. Our flight is at 6:45 and the airport opens at 4:30. The departure lounge closes at 1:30 but the arrival remains open.

Europe Trip Planning – Bookings
We have finally started making some purchases for our trip to Europe. With the planned itinerary more or less finalized, it’s time to get our flights and finding places to stay. We will depart Toronto on May 7th and arrive in London, UK on May 8th at 6:25 AM. Flight AC856 uses a Boeing 777-300ER and I can’t remember which rows we are in. The 50′s come to mind. It’s a window seat.
For our return, we will depart from Paris on June 10th at 11:40 AM and will be back in Toronto by 14:05, assuming no delays of any sort. I know we’re in the upper half of the plane siting in aisle seats because all the windows were taken. Flight AC881 uses an Airbus A330-300 (333).
The multi-city flight was just under $1400 for two tickets.
The only other booking we have done is put a down payment for 6 nights inside a Paris apartment. The apartment is in the 15th district of Paris which is relatively close to the Eiffel Tower an Arc but I believe pretty far from the major window shopping areas. The down payment was 60 Eur and the total bill for 6 nights is 300 Eur with an optional 25 Eur cleaning fee should we want to take it. Here are some pictures of the apartment, I have no idea if it is actually pinkish in color, but I’m guess in it is. For the price we paid, it’s hard to beat. It comes with a cooking area, private bath, washing machine and a sofa bed that converts to a double.
By the end of this week, we’ll probably have a few more bookings done or at least attempted a few more on Priceline or Hotwire.
