We arrived from the airport a bit later than we had planned, but David was there to greet us with a warm smile and a kind welcome. As he let us into the apartment, my tired wife exclaimed: "Oh David! It's beautiful!" And it truly is a perfect little place from which to explore Rome. The building is old and stately, but the apartment is ultra-modern and spotless. A fully equipped kitchen, an amazingly comfortable bed, and a pristine "step-down" bathroom with a glass-walled shower. Plenty of fresh towels and bedding, extra pillows and blankets, and a nice dining area... everything two people would need for a great getaway in romantic Rome. The best feature is the lively (but sane) neighborhood, close to the Ottaviano Metro station, buses, taxis, and surrounded by excellent shopping one block away on Via del Ottaviano, restaurants (try Tavola Calda), and just a few minutes walk to Vatican City (pay the 45 Euros for a guided tour... it's worth it). Overall, a great experience in a wonderful apartment.
