This is a great place in a fantastic neighborhood! The apartment itself is spacious, tidy, & has all the little amenities you need to make yourself at home (there was even an umbrella there for us on that rainy day). We didn't meet Lorenzo, but two of his friends (a couple) were there to meet us, and left us a bottle of red wine & a plate of delicious fresh cheese! What a lovely welcome to Rome!! The neighborhood is seriously awesome. Very quaint, with cobblestone streets & little shoppes and cafes right there. Fun & lively at night, but it's not noisy because it's about a block from the "action." We met up with friends who were staying near the
Colosseum, who came to our place to meet up & then go for drinks in our neighborhood -- they were so envious of our place & the area! :) Took only about 15 min to walk across the river & into the 'heart' of Rome....caught a taxi a couple times for about 7 euros. About 15 min walk to the Vatican, too. We'll be back, & I will definitely stay here again.
