Prior to our arrival we had many questions about how to get around, things to do and see. Francesco was very open and receptive to answering all our questions.
We arrived at his place and was met by his GF who showed us the room and provided us with the rundown. We were hoping to meet Francesco, but his work called him away, which he advised us before our arrival.
It took us a while to figure out the transportation system, but the Metro station A line is literally across the street and can take you to most of downtown to either catch the A line or the train station.
We rented a scooter for a day, and asked Francesco about parking it and he was quick to respond and told us where and how to park.
We loved the room. Even though the room is shared in his flat, we had our own entrance from the front entry way, our own bathroom and full access to the kitchen. The building has it's own secure gate and secured lobby.
It is about a 10 minute walk to the Vatican, but was easy to do as well as quite safe. With the Metro across the street, to get to the other sites of the city, the Metro and local bus system was a great way to get around.
We really enjoyed our stay here and would definitely recommend it to others.
