We never met Augusto, but he was very helpful in answering any questions we had via email and checking in each night to make sure we saw everything and to provide recommendations. His wife also met us at the train station to walk is to the apartment, which is 5 min walk from the train station. She did not speak English, but she had their daughter message us instructions.

The apartment was very nice and everything seemed to be newly renovated. It was in an easy location to navigate the city using public transportation. The train station (trastevere station) is 5 min from the apt, and from the train station, you can also reach the Vatican at the Roma San Pietro station. Using tram line 8, which runs right by the train station, you can easily reach the colosseum by riding to the end of the line to Venezia.

Overall a great place to stay, especially if you have an idea of how to get around Rome. If not, make sure to ask Augusto (the host) ahead of time for directions and restaurant suggestions.
