Nicola was the perfect host – met us promptly, gave us a thorough briefing on the place, and immediately addressed the only question that arose later. The apartment was as advertised – clean and well equipped for cooking, and even has a nice selection of art on the walls. The neighborhood is very convenient, with lots of shops, mini marts and restaurants around, and a delightful market filled with vendors about two blocks down Via Cola di Rienzo where you can buy breads, cheeses, pasta, fruit, vegetables . . . Metro three blocks away, buses and tramline in the piazza in front, and a cab rank next to the building that seems open all hours. It’s five minutes to St Peters square or the Vatican Museum entrance on foot, and Piazza di Spagna, Galleria Borghese and even Capitoline / Colosseo are under an hour on foot. I recommend it highly and would definitely stay there again.
