We had a pleasant stay at Stefano's managed apartment in Rome. The expectations that we had were met - the location was ideal - the neighborhood was safe and surrounded by numerous restaurants, bakeries, boutiques, and markets.
Our new friend Leon met us upon arrival, and greeted us with pastries from a nearby shop and a bottle of Chianti. He answered all of our questions after going over all the features of our room in Rome.
Transportation was not a problem as we were able to walk from our building directly into the heart of Rome. The Plazas and monuments were less than a twenty minute walk. Public transportation, either train or bus, was virtually at our doorstep. After a long day of walking and the exploring the numerous sites in Rome, we could catch a ride back to our residence for less than two dollars US each.
I would recommend Stefano's room in Rome to travelers that want a true Italian vacation experience.
