We loved staying at Riccardo's because it made knowing Rome easy! The building is very close to the major touristic places in the city (and the train station) and we didn't need to use any kind of public or private transportation go get around. It is a small apartment lacking a few things (such as a microwave) but if you don't play to eat in and won't stay long in the city, you won't even notice it. A great option.
