Nicola was an amazing host! He left a bottle of wine for us to enjoy when we arrived, and even provided a great list of local restaurants. The studio was cute and clean, and the outdoor patio is quite large! The laundry is shared with the other apartments in the hall, but we never had an issue coordinating with others to use the machines. The apartment is a bit of a walk from the "major" sights of Rome, outside of the Vatican, but we preferred that. It was easy enough to take the Metro and we loved walking around and wandering into different shops and restaurants along the way. We would definitely choose Nicola's place again when we return to Rome!
