We really loved our stay!

Samir is a very accesible and responsive host - which is pleasant both when preparing as while you are there.

The place is big enough for 4 people to stay comfortably and has all amenities. Additional plus: it is very quiet even if it is on a lively restaurant street.

The appartement is very close to Vatican and Hop-on-Hop-off bus stops. Also city buses to/from Termini and Tirbutina station stop behind the corner. The historical city centre, Trastevere area or even Trevi and Villa Borghese are withing walking distance so you do not really need the busses - we travelled with 2 young children so we did use them.

We loved the close-by Porta Castello restaurant (http://www.portacastello.altervista.org/) which is unassuming, untouristy and very tasty. There are many other dining options just outside the door (although several are purely tourist oriented).

There is a convenient bus connection to Fiumicino (FCO) airport at 5min. walking distance (http://www.sitbusshuttle.com/en/) which will save you time and money as compared to travelling through Termini station.
