The apartment was perfect. Lorenzo was a fabulous host, willing to help in any way he could. At the base of Rampa Brancaleone there are local shops selling an array of Italian foods for making your own meals. A short walk down the street will get you to a fruit and vegetable stand, a gelato shop, or a number of different restaurants. The location is great in reference to the center of Rome. A 15 Euro taxi ride from the main train station or less than 10 Euro to the main tourist areas. My wife and I actually walked to and from the Vatican, Spanish Steps, Trevi Fountain, and other normal attractions. We highly recommend staying at this great little flat.
