Riccardo, the host, was super. He met us on the sidewalk outside the apartment to make it easier to find. Once inside, he gave us a thorough orientation of the apartment, taking time to highlight some great sights to see and even a restaurant that was incredibly good and inexpensive. He even took the time to answer all our questions, including a nearby ATM. He really did a great job! My one observation for those who prefer sleeping on soft mattress (this is not intended as a complaint; I just know this is important to some folks) is that the beds in the apartment, while in good condition, are very firm. Outside the apartment are other convenient restaurants and a pretty big supermarket is just 3 blocks away. Plus, you can't beat the apartment's convenient location near the train station and its subway/bus connections. We would love to stay here again. We're grateful for Riccardo helping to make our family's first visit to Rome so special. He's a great host!
