Leonardo was a good host and his apartment was very nice. He picked us up from FCO (50 euro fee) and showed us around the apt on our arrival. The space was very nicely decorated, as he's an architect, and was plenty of room for 2 people. Everything looked as it appears in the photos and we had no problems with any of the amenities.

The location of the apt is in a quiet neighborhood close to Vatican City. We are two able bodied twenty somethings so we decided to walk to Vatican City and it took about 20 Mins. We would also recommend using Cipro metro station (about 15 Mins walk) if you plan to go to the major sites across the river (colosseum, trevi fountain, Spanish Steps, etc). There are also multiple bus lines that are accessible (one across the street but is one of the last stops on the route) and also a few more in the nearby area.

Food wise, Leonardo recommended an excellent pizza place the next street over - Magnifica. The food was very good but a bit pricey. If you have a chance, take the walk over to Cipro station and a few streets away is Pizzarium from famed chef Bonci. Food was amazing and you pay by weight.

All in all, great stay at Leonardo's. If you don't mind some extra walking or taking public transportation, this is a great alternative to center city and for a good cost.
