If I could give more than five stars for location and hospitality I would. We were having difficulty figuring out how to organize transportation into Rome so that we could drop our bags off and make an afternoon tour on time, and the host arranged a private driver to pick us up in a nearby town and bring us to the apartment. The cool as a cucumber driver took us to the front door, which I now know is no small feat given the traffic.
And the location! Could not have asked for anything better. Lots to see and do right in the neighborhood, but also an easy ten minute walk across the river to the city center. The road that the apartment is on does not allow cars, so it is quiet at night and the taxi stand is 3 minutes away. I did not expect Rome to be the relaxing leg of our trip, but thanks to the hosts and their apartment, it was and I am extremely grateful.
