Fabrizio, Piera, Manuela, and Valentino are excellent hosts. We were able to check in early, and Fabrizio took the time to give us dozens of tips for experiencing the city as a Roman does.
The flat was outstanding, and in a perfect residential neighborhood, complete with a fabulous bakery and great restaurants - just don't be afraid of doing some walking!
There is so much to see and explore that it should be your preferred method of transportation anyway - we certainly found all sorts of incredible views and parks by simply wandering, getting lost, and taking it all in.
This is where you should stay in Rome!
