The location of Federico's place is perfect for those visiting Rome, especially those visiting with a car. There place is located on the ancient Appia Antica (The oldest road in Rome) along with many other Roman historical sights (Walking distance to all) including the Christian Catacombs of San Sabastiano. If your a history buff this place is for you! Walk off the property and in literally seconds there are Roman ruins. Apartment was great, bedroom had A/C which was great, kitchen is fully equipped, and shutters shade rooms from the hot sun. There were some mosquitos in the area, so we kept the windows in the bedroom closed and used aircon. Free bus to metro - quiet and historic spot = excellent stay. We didn't meet Federico as he was away working but his parents are lovely and gave us plenty of info and advice.
