Roberto’s place was just like described, except if you are a little bigger than most Italians, you will find the shower very small. It was close to a market (across the street), the train and Metro lines (about 10 minutes walk), and restaurants (near the train station).
He was very accommodating in meeting us for check-in and helpful in pointing out local interests. I would recommend this place, but don’t expect it to be a suite at the Hilton.
