Aldo and his sister Georgia greeted us at the apartment after prearranging a taxi from the airport. The apartment was really lovely. Spacious, clean, modern and stocked with everything we would need to relax and begin our tour. The refrigerator had a large amount of water as well as juice, beer and wine. There were snacks and breakfast rolls on the table. Aldo provided a local telephone to use while we were in Rome, and when we had a question about the washing machine, he responded within 10 minutes. We were delighted to find a safe in the apartment for our valuables - I don't remember that being listed on the ad. The location of this apartment is excellent. The bus stop is right outside your door, metro stop one block away, and you can walk to nearly everything. Aldo did a great job of telling us how to use the bus, and we became quite comfortable with it. The large living room with two folding beds offered the only complaint. The mattresses on the fold-outs were really nice, but the street noise did interfere with sleep. But that is the trade-off to such a convenient location. When our time in Rome was over, Georgia met us exactly at the time we requested to return the keys, and we easily hauled our luggage to the metro, then transferred to the train for our ride to Florence.
For a family of 5 - we were truly satisfied, and comfortable in Aldo's apartment.
Definitely consider contacting him if you have the opportunity to visit Rome.
Ciao!
