The stay at Raffaeles place was just perfect. The room was prepared very nice, everything was clean and he even made a welcome package, including information about the neighborhood (supermarkets, restaurants, public transport, etc.), some snacks and a bottle of wine - which we enjoyed the last day of our stay together with a good meal we prepared on the gas stove (!). Public transport is right around the corner - Metro is 10 meters away from the doorstep, bus station (including night bus!) right across the street. You can tell Raffaele is an architect, I've never seen so many lights and so many light switches inside an appartment :) Overall very recommended, we think about staying the next time in Rome at Raffaeles place again.
