Walter was a wonderful host! He provided a map and a very clear guide with recommendations for great places to visit and eat food. The location was a 2 minute walk from the metro/train station, so it was extremely easy for us to get to the colosseum and the Vatican, and for us to catch a train to Florence a few days later. We spent the first night just walking around the apartment area because there was so much to see (plus great pizza and gelato everywhere). The apartment was air conditioned and had a washing machine, which we appreciated. Walter also left us some snacks, water, and beer in the fridge, which was a very thoughtful touch. This place was a great place to stay for our first trip to Rome!
