Kurt’s place is in a great location. It’s very convenient to the metro and has shops and eateries nearby. Kurt speaks fluent English, is helpful, is very easy to reach by text with any questions, and he made great recommendations on places to get groceries and places to eat. One thing that surprised us was that this was Kurt’s home. Other places we’ve stayed were units the owners used exclusively as short-term rentals. So, it almost felt like going over a friend’s place who loaned you his/her apartment to stay over. The interior was a bit dark, didn’t feel inviting. We were short a few hangers and didn’t have quite enough space in his closet for our stuff. It was nice that the apartment has off street parking available. Once we arrived there was no reason to use our car as long as we were in Rome.
