Raffaele was a great host. He was available anytime we needed him. The apartment is literally steps from the metro which can place you right next to the coliseum or pretty much anywhere of interest in Rome. One GReAT benefit to the place is the opportunity to easily return home at any point in the day without a long walk from the metro. We should have used that feature more (wet shoes and socks from a downpour). Jacuzzi tub was a great bonus after a long day on your feet. The snacks and juice provided got our days off to a good start without having to stop somewhere for breakfast.
