Valerios is a very easy host to work with. Very quick to respond and always on hand if need be. We didnt meet him as the check in system is very well organised and easy to use. The flat is just as the photos show it and ideal as a base if u r visiting rome. This wasnt our first time so we didnt mind being out of the centre. It is a 15 min metro ride but also found that the number 80 bus was a 20 min ride from zara and often much quicker to use than the metro. We found some lovely local restaurants which were obviously cheaper than the centre.
