Like others have said, Daniele's home is wonderful. It is literally steps to shops and restaurants and is in the wonderful neighborhood of Trastevere. I would recommend to anyone who is considering a stay in Rome to be in Trastevere--away from the toursity areas of the Colosseum, Forum etc. because it's a more authentic Roman neighborhood experience with the convenience of being able to take a cab to the tourist sites when you please (and you can walk 15-20 mins to Vatican and Pantheon!)
A couple other specific things to mention about our wonderful stay: Was so happy I took Daniele up on his offer to send a driver to the airport--Alberto had a sign waiting for me and was very nice + efficient (and very reasonable price for a driver + Mercedes!). Alberto also called Daniele's Mom to tell her we were on the way and then she met me steps from the place to show me around; was pleasantly surprised to find a hairdryer, Nespresso coffee machine and milk! The view is wonderful for enjoying your morning coffee. Daniele was also so flexible with our checkout time--our train was not until 17:00 and he said it was fine to stay through the afternoon.
I could go on but I simply cannot recommend enough!
