The apartment is in a perfect location to explore the city - across the street from a Metro (underground) station, not far from a train station, and walking distance to shops and restaurants and of course the Vatican. Francesco speaks perfect English and is a wonderful host. He went above and beyond for us - he even drove us to the train station nearby because even though it was close, we had our luggage. Then when we arrived, he helped us to find the right station, helped us obtain the tickets, and he even helped us with our luggage! And he waited with us for the train. The nicest host you will ever meet. The apartment was well appointed - the shower was perfect, the bed was very comfortable ( I think it was a Temperpedic), everything was great. We will be back to Rome, and when we are, we will stay here again!
