Mattia was a great host and very accommodating permitting us to check-in early and even offering us the ability to have a later check-out if needed. The apartment was clean, quiet, and comfy. The neighborhood felt safe, walkable and local as opposed to touristy. There are several great restaurants and gelato places within a couple block radius, the metro is just down the block, and the Colosseum is a 15 min walk from the apartment. Mattia provided several recommendations for restaurants, bars, and sites in the area which was extremely helpful. Overall he was available for questions when needed both prior to and during our stay. He also saw us off on the day of our departure, helped with luggage, and provided pastries as we left. We definitely recommend his place and would stay here again if we visited Rome again in the future!
