We had a great time at Nicola's flat. It was our first time in Rome and we really wanted to stay somewhere close to all the important places in the city. Nicola's flat served that purpose perfectly. It was not right in the middle which would have meant noise throughout the night or busy all the time, but was not too far away from the centre either. So we could get a good night's sleep and walk to most of the attractions. There are also plenty of places to eat within a 5 - 10 - 15 minute walking distance. The flat was clean, spacious, had everything we needed for a week's stay and the check in process was great. Nicola met us at the flat and explained everything we needed to know. The flat is airconditioned which was such a relief when we got back after having spent the day in the heat (summer in Rome is not 'cool'). The pressure in the showers was a bit on the lower side, a little more water pressure would have been lovely.
Overall, we are so glad we spent our time in Rome at Nicola's flat, we will certainly go back if we went back to Rome.
