Valerio's apartment was perfect!!! The location is a short walk to the #117 bus, which runs through The Ancient Rome section. The S. Giovanni stop of the red line for the subway is only a little bit further from the bus stop.
There are several nice cafes right down stairs, which make for a quick coffee and corsiant for breakfast. The apartment was very clean and met our needs for sleeping four.
Valerio's parents met us upon our arrival then took the extra time to help me find the Hertz's Rental Car return lot. Big thanks to them for that!!!!
We'll definitely look to stay at Valerio's the next time we visit Rome. Great trip!!!
