Francesco, the host, met me at the apartment just as we had arranged, He was very good about communicating prior to my arrival and leading up to it, and even though I was delayed a bit from the airport he handled it with no problems. The apartment is located on a quiet, tree-lined street in the Monteverde Vecchio neighborhood, one of the best-kept secrets in Rome. It was quiet and tranquil, but just a short walk down the hill to the bustling Trastevere neighborhood. The apartment itself was clean, bright, spacious, and sunny. The kitchen was well-equipped, the wireless internet was fast and consistent, and everything one could want, from grocery stores to gelaterie and restaurants was within short walking distance. Everything made for a very comfortable stay, and when I unfortunately left my iPad behind, Francesco even volunteered to arrange for it to be shipped to me.
