Gildas place is in a great location. All of the tourist attractions are within a 15-30 minute walk and her place is close to public transportation if you prefer to take a bus. The surrounding area is located in a nice section of the city with plenty of restaurant options near by. Her place is located just far enough outside of the tourist attractions to give you a private and more intimate stay / experience of Rome. Gildas is very responsive and at times I communicated with her friend Sara who helped arrange travel for us from the airport to the apartment since Gildas lives out of the country.
