As a host, Matteo could not have been more friendly and accommodating. The apartment building is secure and easily accessible, and the apartment was impeccably clean, comfortable, and spacious. There is one bedroom with a private bathroom, a pull out couch in the living room, and a second bathroom down the hall, which was a very nice arrangement for us and our son. The kitchen was well equipped and had everything we needed to cook a meal at home when we chose to stay in. There are many good restaurants and shops within walking distance from the apartment, as well as a grocery store and pharmacy, which was very convenient. The location is close to Piazzale Clodio, where you can get on one of several bus lines to go essentially anywhere you would like to go in Rome, if you are not interested in walking. Most days we did both. There is also a Metro subway a short walk from the apartment, which can take you to the Temini train station where you can book a train to Florence, Naples, Orvieto, or anywhere else in Italy. Matteo’s apartment was the perfect place for us to call our home as we explored Rome and Italy. Matteo is an excellent host and has earned our highest recommendation.
