Fabio (Rita's husband) was a fabulous host! From picking us up from the airport (better than taxi!) to showing us the night lights of Rome to taking us to the train station (all for a reasonable fee). The apartment is just like the photos and has excellent maps for first time visitors to Rome. The little shop nearby has everything, the church next door is amazing, the taxi rank is just across the river. The Pantheon is a short walk away. The steps up to Pettinarihome were not a problem for us but could be for some people. The sofa bed is good for one person but probably not two.
A wonderful introduction to Italy. Thank you Fabio for all you did for me and my friend.
