The apartment was ideal for us and is bigger than the photos suggested. While there is no handicap entrance, there are only about 6 steps to navigate. Upon arrival we were met at the door, we were given help with our baggage. Some complimentary food items for breakfast, information about local restaurants and things-to-do and a few toiletries to tide us over until we could shop. There are two bicycles available with the apartment. There are grocery stores, bus stops, a metro stop, and lots of other shops within a couple of blocks. The vatican wall is one block away along with the entrance to the museum.

We rented the apartment for one month as we are an older couple and wanted to spend some time exploring Rome and surrounding area of Italy. During that time, a few maintenance issues occurred. This is a very nice modern apartment within an older area and sometimes maintenance was needed for the building or surrounding area. Matteo always answered our questions and got us help when needed, immediately within an hour. For example, the city of Rome was upgrading all the gas connections on the block and spent several days working on the buried connection to the apartment. After restoring gas service, the water heater did not work. Matteo had the repairman there within an hour and personally showed up to make sure we had hot water that evening.

Matteo was a very gracious host and we would certainly love to stay there again.
