Michele's apartment was a perfect base of operations for our five-day visit in Rome. He was the consummate host, helping us with transportation arrangements, giving us tips and directions for things to see and places to eat, and making sure the apartment was in top condition and that we knew how to work everything. The location is very central, very manageable walking distance to everything we wanted to see (we only took cabs one day when it rained). Since it is just steps from the Trevi Fountain, there is a fair amount of street noise but with windows closed we had no trouble sleeping on account of it. The apartment itself is really comfortable: well laid out, well maintained, and well equipped.
