I cannot say enough about what a wonderful experience we had staying at Michele's apartment. Our host was terrific and made us feel welcome from the moment we arrived into his home.. Michele provided great directions to the apartment and arranged for a taxi at the end of our visit to take us to the train station. He met us on arrival and provided all the information we needed and a history of the spacious apartment built in 1575 which is located in the middle of a plaza full of energy and activity. The neighborhood, could not have been better located, rich in history and charm. Windows from the apartment opened on to the plaza and a balcony overlooking an atrium area was perfect for enjoying morning coffee and an early evening bottle of wine. Only a few blocks from the Parthenon, we were surrounded by narrow streets and alleys with shops, coffee shops, quaint little restaurants and Roman history, including a 20 minute walk to the Colosseum. Michele provided us a list of restaurant and suggestion to visit during our stay. It was a great part of a most enjoyable Rome vacation
