Antonino did a great job of making us feel welcome. He provided good directions, met us at the outside door to the building and explained to us how to use everything in the apartment. It was very clear that he wanted to ensure we enjoyed our stay.

The unit is large and nicely furnished. Tall ceiling and beautiful woodwork make it feel special. We made several meals in the well equipped kitchen, washed a couple loads of clothes in the washing machine and turned on the air conditioner a couple of times during our stay. All worked well and were nice to have available.

The apartment is located about a block from the Tiber River and about 1/2 mile from the nearest Metro station at the Spanish Steps. There is a small grocery store about 2 blocks away. We enjoyed walking the city--putting in about 5-10 miles each day. Many of the key sites are w/in 1-2 miles and others are easily reached by the Metro (Colosseum). We always felt safe walking the city--even at 4am on the day we had to leave.

On top of everything, Antonino is the consummate host. He responded quickly to any inquiries, provided used guidebooks & maps of Rome. He even had things like umbrellas an bandaids set out in case there were needed. Finally, he left a couple pieces of fruit and two beers in the fridge to welcome us--a nice touch.

We loved Antonino and his apartment and would definitely recommend staying there.
