I would highly recommend Riccardo's apartment to anyone visiting Rome. It is so centrally located but yet very peaceful and quiet and has all the amenities needed for a comfortable stay. The Coliseum is only a ten minute walk, and the rest of the ancient Roman district is just beyond, easily walkable. The metro and many bus stops are very close if you prefer to use public transportation, but I found that everything I wished to see was walkable - Vatican City 45 minute walk, Trevi Fountain, 20 minutes away by foot, and much more! Riccardo's hospitality was 10+. He greeted me at the apartment and spent at least 30 minutes going over the amenities, checkout procedure (he offered a late checkout without my having to ask since no one was arriving the day I was leaving), and gave very clear instructions on how to use appliances and coffee makers. He left maps with suggestions on some sights to see and restaurant recommendations. He also had a bottle of wine and some fruit waiting on my arrival. I cannot speak highly enough about my experience with Riccardo and would certainly book his apartment again if I return to Rome. I give my experience the highest rating possible!
