We decided to add Rome to our Europe Trip itinerary as a last minute addition and Lorenzo graciously accepted our reservation the evening before we arrived! I found Lorenzo to be extremely helpful/responsive, punctual, flexible, and warm! His apartment was well appointed and very well situated for exploring the Vatican! If you're a big walker, you can explore all of Rome's main sights easily but if you're not, ask Lorenzo for advice on how to use the bus system. His apt isn't located close to a Metro station so buses are your best bet! Cute, cozy apartment that's decorated beautifully with a wonderful patio. As other guest's have stated, there are a lot of steps leading up to the apartment so if you have bad knees this might not be the best for you (but Lorenzo does offer to help you carry your bags - he's wonderful!). If you have a car, there is free street parking and even though it's packed with cars from the neighborhood, we didn't have a problem finding a spot! Very convenient to not have to refill the parking meter or bother moving it during your stay! If you're backpacking, he has a washer with detergent and a drying rack so you can hang dry your clothes on the patio during the day! Highly recommend!
