My family and I were visiting Rome for the first time so we were not familiar with the city. The apartment was in a perfect location with a great view of the Vatican and just walking distance from the San Peter basilica, we were able to just walk to the bus stop on our hop on-hop off bus tour. Nicola gave us a warm and friendly reception with a welcome basket with pastries and bottle of wine (wow), he was flexible to receive us late at night because our late flight..he explained all about the apartment and explained about metro and the best tourist places to go. The apartment was super clean and spacious, it's on the 5th floor but there is an elevator. Just around the block there is a little mini market. Also Nicola recommended us a great osteria to eat just a few blocks from there, the spaguetti and everything was delicious!!!... Overall a perfect experience. I would not hesitate to go back again or recommend it to friends.
