Nicola's place was great. He is a very friendly and an easy to get in touch with host. We felt very secure at his place. It was very clean and he left little touches and kind gestures in his home for us. We really appreciated staying at his place and would highly recommend it. I did find the location to be a little far from some of the "hot spots" but the bus is right out front of the building so that was no problem! Would be happy to come back when in Rome again!
