Riccardo is the perfect host, and we had a wonderful time staying at the apartment. The flat is comfortable and well-appointed, and was cool even during July's heat thanks to the air conditioning. The neighbourhood is quiet but has plenty of services nearby (coffee bars, restaurants, pizzerias, grocers) and you can see the Colosseum from the front door! But as great as the apartment is, it is Riccardo who really makes staying here a wonderful experience. He welcomed us with an assortment of fruit and other treats and recommended a number of outings and places to eat. He is a lovely, gracious person and truly a super host.
