We stayed December 22nd - 25th. The location was near the Coliseum and other sites and the metro station. The host was FANTASTIC! He was so nice and accommodating. Our train from Venice was late and we made it to the apartment about 2-3 hours later than planned. I kept Mattia informed as I knew he was waiting for us at the apartment and he assured me it wasn't a problem. Once at the apartment it was clean and exactly as pictured. Even down to the little patio. Though it was December during our stay, the weather was nice enough to sit out on the patio and share a glass of Proseco, while you unwound (which we did after a long days of sight seeing). On our last night, we further explored the area and stumbled upon more beautiful churches and shopping. During our stay, Mattia was kind enough to not only leave us a Welcome to Rome present, but he also went through the trouble of looking up restaurants that would be open on Christmas Eve and left us a list with contact information. To top it off on Christmas morning he even gave us a ride to the train station! Unexpected but much appreciated.
It topped off what had been a dream vacation for us in Italy.
