My friends were telling me that touring Rome can be a hectic experience, but staying at Nicola's place totally proved otherwise. Our first day started out with a lost luggage at the airport. When Nicola found out, he went extra mile to help us (call the airport, get taxi, and write Italian writings on paper for personnels). We were very impressed by his kindness from the first day. He is also friendly and made us feel welcome.

The location was perfect. It's not a hotel next to some big street, but located at the center of historical district (cobbled street, many small local shops). It felt a few inch closer to more authentic Rome than staying at a big hotel. Pantheon is only couple corners away, and we literally stumbled upon it while going to the supermarket (we were not ready for it, stood there totally mesmerized). Famous Gelato shop near by (Giolitti). Love the bakery at the corner.

The apartment has cozy three rooms, and a living room area. Artistic and minimalistic atmosphere and comfy beds. It could be a bit noisy at night since the street corridor is very narrow and the car noise and people talking can echo up (people are out late during weekends). But I think it's part of experiencing 'we are not in Kansas anymore'.

We would recommend this place and Nicola to people travelling to Rome.
