This was a fun experience and helped to make the week in Rome very enjoyable. The apartment was spacious and clean and had all necessary items - towels, wine opener, hair dryer, internet, dvd player, etc. Armando's done a good job of keeping the balance with his own things on display, while still leaving it tidy and uncluttered.

It's a long 10 minute walk to the subway and while there are buses, (take the 23 or 70) they don't come that often - you must allow for travel time to your sites. The nearby grocery store had the basics.

Armando was a great host - he replied quickly to any email questions and helped to arrange the taxi to/from the airport, which I appreciate. There aren't a lot of taxis in the area that are easy to catch, so I was grateful when the cab came for the airport.

As the apartment is near the Vatican area, it's quiet at night.

I'd recommend this spot!
