The description of this shared apartment does not do it justice. The host Raffaele goes above and beyond to make this apartment feel like your home and he is the guest. From the extraordinary welcome to the personal touches like a bottle of wine from his home region of Italy. He has a wonderfully typed information sheet with maps of the neighborhood and things close by, as well as some tourist information to help you get around Rome. Raffaele had a constant supply of breakfast and coffee items available throughout our week long stay. He is a great resource of information about Rome.
The underground and bus stop is literally just out front of the apartment, which are necessary for getting into the historical center/Vatican areas. There are plenty of great places to eat or drink within walking distance. The apartment is just off a pretty busy street so there can be some city noise.
