It was hard to find an affordable apartment that met all the needs of our family. Daniele's place was a good find for us because of the great price, and the safe location on the side of town closest to where we were moving our daughter to college. Very convenient to buses, the metro, and a taxi stand....all a very short walk from the apartment. We always seek out neighborhoods vs staying near touristy sites as we love to experience living like a local, always find great food at better prices, and because we get better sleep far from the crowds. The taxi stand is important because this is a neighborhood of locals, within 20 minute walk to the Vatican, but not a lot of empty taxis driving by. Plenty of shops/cafes/restaurants filled with locals who welcome tourists all around. I felt very safe walking alone or with my daughter both days and nights.
Daniele was a great communicator and helped us get set up with an early check in, a private taxi from the airport (our daughter will be in school in Rome for a year so had A LOT of luggage), and advice about where to do laundry about 1 minute walk from the apartment. I really enjoyed having his help during our stay.
The only reason I can't give 5 stars is that there is AC in only 1 bedroom, and this was not clear in the listing. AC and elevator were #1 and #2 in order of importance as we stayed during August with record high temperatures. We made it work, but had to all share the one bedroom (there is a double bed and twin sleeper chair). I realize this won't be a problem during most of the year, but parties of more than 2 people staying during the summer need to think carefully about if this apartment will work for your needs.
