Very clean, very comfortable! room has an air conditioning unit above this door which was helpful because it got up to the 90s in Rome when we were there! Flat is on the 5th floor and, yes, there is an elevator! It wasn't working on the morning we were leaving, which was an inconvenience, but not terrible. At least the bags were going down and not up!

Frank is very knowledgeable and hospitable! He took time to explain the city and mark things on a map, also gave us business cards of places he loves. We went to most of them and they were great. (Go to Michele! No frills, delicious food!) He had an answer or a suggestion for anything we threw at him; even gave us some secrets about getting into museums and such.

The neighborhood might seem a little rough-and-tumble upon first view, but it's quite safe. The flat is half a block away from a beautiful square and situated in what my husband and I called Little India. right when you reach the square from the building, there's an outdoor café that's family-run. Definitely stop and have a drink or two. Very nice and if you go more than that one time, you'll quickly find out who the regulars are!

I would highly recommend this place. In fact, the next time we're in Rome, we'll probably stay here again. The neighborhood is far from tourists and that's exactly what we wanted.
