Valerio's apartment was the perfect place to stay for our 6 nights in Rome. The location cannot be beat - Once we arrived, we did not use any other form of transportation other than our feet. Everything you want to see is within a 30 minute walk, much of it even closer! There's also a variety of cafes and restaurants nearby that we never had to walk more than 10 minutes for a good meal. Valerio was in regular communication before and during and coordinated our arrival and departure transportation which made the whole trip so easy. He had prosecco and cherries waiting for us in the apartment along with milk and croissants for breakfast. Check in was very easy and he gave us an excellent recommendation for dinner our first night in. We even had a small mishap with the washing machine (our fault) and he rushed over to help us. The apartment is exactly as described. It was spacious for the two of us and all of our bags. The bed was comfortable, although on the firm side. We really enjoyed having a glass of wine and reading on the balcony. You really feel like you are living in the center of Rome. The wifi worked perfectly and we felt very safe (you are behind three locked doors - the one to the building, the one to the stairs/elevator and the one to the apartment). The elevator was SO nice to have after a long day of walking around Rome. Although some reviews commented on the bathroom, we found it to be plenty of space and did not have any overflowing problems. There was ample hot water for both of us. The only recommendation I would have is to leave the bathroom window open and the bathroom door closed when you leave, as there is sometimes a musty smell if you don't (this was easily solved once we learned that the first day!). Valerio was a kind and gracious host and we would not hesitate to stay with him again!
