Matteo's apartment is very well located - about a 10 minute walk from the Pantheon and 15 minutes from the Vatican or Trevi Fountain. It's also close to Piazza Venezia, a stopping point for pretty much every bus route in Rome. There's an excellent restaurant (Osteria Romana Di Simmi) on the same street a few steps away, several more close by, and two reasonably sized grocery stores lass than 5 minutes away.

The apartment itself is air-conditioned (pretty important in July when we visited), spacious and comfortable. The kitchen is well-equipped and supplied, and Matteo a very responsive and available host. There are three bedrooms, though one is a loft with a low ceiling that makes it unsuitable for anyone over 5'6" (1.7 meters) or so.

The apartment is on a short narrow street a couple of blocks from Largo di Torre Argentina. The street obscure enought that both the taxi driver who brought us there and the Uber driver who picked us up had trouble finding it. Matteo did offer to call a taxi for us, which would have helped. Guests should also note it's necessary to climb three flights of steps to get to the apartment, which is definitely not suitable for anyone with walking difficulties.
