Nicola was great, He helped arrange transportation to and from the apartment and the welcome gift of crackers and wine was wonderful. The apartment was very close to the metro and bus stations and was only a short walk from the Vatican and shopping. The market and several very good restaurants were also only a short walk away. We were slightly concerned about adults sleeping in hide-a-beds ( we had 10 in our group) as there were only three beds, but the mattress's were very firm and we all slept very well. Next time we are in Rome we will be looking to rent from Nicola again and would recommend anyone looking for a great place to stay to consider this apartment.
