Highly recommended for families or two couples! Lovely 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom (i.e. 2 showers, 2 toilets) first-floor apartment in Rome with a wonderful courtyard and kitchen. You know you're in Italy when the floors are all marble! Very close to Vatican and the metro. Nicolo was extremely welcoming and accommodating, showed great care in helping my mom who was in a wheelchair. Upon arrival he gave us maps, asked if we needed directions to city center, gave us a print-out book of near-by restaurants (we went to Galeone for great pasta and cheap pizza!). It was also really appreciated that Nicolo provides a tablet for use -- our US tablet was refusing to load certain pages from our airline for whatever reason, and having Nicolo's tablet allowed us to check in and upgrade.

The apartment is pretty quiet for being in the city -- our driver who dropped us off even remarked how it was going to be a lovely and quiet place, although, of course since it's the largest city in Italy, you will hear motos and trucks from the road from time to time in the outer room. Beds could be a little more comfy but after a long day, a bed is a bed ;)

Tips:
1) The shades you have to pull from the side -- a bit different from US ones so it took us a little while to figure out.
2) Make sure to look at the little menus and service charges before you start opening packets. This is a professional-level listing so some things are not free, though everything is certainly reasonable.
