My family and I spent five nights at Matteo's apartment and had a lovely time. From the beginning, Matteo was very attentive as I wrote to him and discussed our plans. He also kept in touch with us during our stay to make sure everything was OK. Upon our arrival, Matteo's brother, Marcello, was waiting for us. The apartment was as beautiful as in the pictures. If you are looking for charm and character, this is definitely the place to stay in Rome. The whole family appreciated the beautiful, fresh flowers in the living room and the complimentary fruit, juice and basic items for breakfast the next morning. The location was perfect. Since this was our first time in Rome and the weather cooperated, we walked everywhere. A couple of minutes to Campo di Fiori Market, ten minutes to Trastevere, fifteen to twenty to Plaza Venezia, the Coliseum and the Pantheon. Maybe about 25-30 to the Vatican. We were able to find great restaurants in the area and a nice supermarket. We couldn't have asked for a better place. Check out was as easy--Matteo's mother , a lovely lady, came in to get the keys and to say goodbye. We certainly hope to return to Rome and to stay at Matteo's apartment again. We had a great time!
