This is a spectacular property at this price, and the hosts are equally spectacular. The flat is large and airy and nicely decorated- and if you have lots of people (we were a group of 5), then it's fantastic value. It is exactly as it looks in the photos.

First, Eduardo and Francesca are accommodating and amiable hosts. Eduardo went out of their way to make us feel welcome and answered all of our questions about getting around Rome. He even offered to lend us a guide book for our time in Rome. There was fresh milk and orange juice in the fridge and sparkling water as well. Eduardo also ordered a taxi for us, met up with us to say goodbye, and helped us get all of our luggage into the cab on the last day. If he could possibly accommodate your request, I know he would do it.

Second, even though the flat is not easily walkable from most of the big tourist attractions, the location was still great for our purposes. In particular, the cafe at the bottom of Via dei Savorelli is a neighbourhood haunt, and it is GREAT. Excellent coffee. Good paninis. Great pastries. Gelato on demand. Real roman atmosphere. And only 2 min away. The other place is a local fast-food pizzeria. It's not what you'd expect- they sell miniature pizzas for 4-5 Euros, but it's a very filling meal for one. The pizzeria is just a few shops down the street from the cafe and it's the perfect place for a quick dinner.

A warning- the flat is only close to one major tourist site: The Vatican is a 10-15 min walk away. So if you plan to spend a lot of time there, this flat is PERFECT for you. To get to other attractions like the Colosseum and the Forum, take the Metro- very handy because the flat is only a 10 min walk from the Metro station. Or you can walk to Piazza Navona in about 45 min. (At night & on Sundays, Vatican City is officially closed, but you can walk still walk back through St Peter's Square- there is a pedestrian path through a massive traffic tunnel, but it's best to avoid this.)
Two general points: Linea C and Linea D on the Metro map are not yet built! Only Lines A & B exist.
