We had a wonderful trip in Rome these passed few days, made all the better by staying in Michele's superbly located, well equipped apartment. Michele promptly responded to all our questions before we arrived and when we were there via email. The one bedroom apartment was perfect for our family, with our two young boys, sharing the very comfortable sofa bed. Constant hot water and a washing machine also helped. It's location meant that walking to most of the main sights wasn't too difficult, especially for little legs, every morning and afternoon (although we took to taking the bus/metro back). With a bus stop, taxi rank and the metro station within a minute of the front door travelling around Rome couldn't be easier if you want to use public transport. There's a small Carrefour within a few minutes walk, so having a well equipped kitchen meant that we returned most lunchtimes to eat in the apartment and some evenings. It is a basement flat so does smell a bit damp, although opening the windows sorts that out. A small negative is that although there is an amazing view from the door of the Colliseum, you can't see it when you're inside. Overall we would highly recommend staying at Michele's apartment.
