The apartment was excellent internally and the verdant external courtyard really provided some sanctuary from the hustle and bustle of the city outside. You have everything you need within a small but well put together studio apartment. It felt very secure and peaceful; the location is great - initially I thought it might be a bit far out but we walked everywhere it's around 10 minutes to the Colosseum and perhaps 30 minutes to the Vatican city - via the main sights in the city center. it's a bonus being right beside the main train station with easy access to Romes airports and a metro stop about 3 minutes walk away. Fabio was a great host and gave us some excellent tips on local restaurants and shopping spots.
