This really is a fabulous flat. It is spacious, was very clean, extremely well decorated and with a lot of thoughtful touches (e.g. lots of books and DVDs that related to Rome). We felt at home straight away and there was nothing about it that I would have wanted to be changed. It has everything you could possibly need and everything is of good quality and condition.
We arrived by train and David provide comprehensive help for us to find the flat, arriving by bus. His directions and suggestions were excellent and we had no trouble finding our way. Pascale greeted us very efficiently, was very friendly, and took us through a map of the neighborhood, with local tips.
David has gone to a lot of time and trouble to provide information about the neighborhood, local recommendations and public transport routes into the city. This was very helpful during our stay. I would thoroughly endorse his local restaurant recommendations, which were excellent. David was also very helpful and responded promptly to questions about Rome that we had during our stay.
The apartment is in a relatively quiet area of Rome in a peaceful block. We like to explore on foot and it was a reasonably easy 10-15 minute walk to get to the Colosseum. There is also a great local market opposite the flat which would be ideal for anyone self-catering.
I'd certainly recommend David's place and wouldn't hesitate to go back if we visit Rome again.
