We absolutely loved staying at Flavia's place in Rome. It was in a very nice, safe neighborhood, with plenty of parking! If anyone has ever been to Rome, parking is like Gold, and we parked in 'our' same spot every night, even though there were plenty to choose from. The balcony gave a nice view, and we parked to we could see the car, but there really wasn't any worry. The apartment is also very easy to find, and on a road that gets you to the Colosseum, and center of Rome very easily, and quickly. As an added plus, the apartment is near a Pizza shop, and Bar, so we could get our cappuccinos and pizzas, there are a row of shops literally across the street. The apartment is in a nice building, with some very nice neighbors ( who speak English well ). I must add that Flavia's place also has the best shower head in all of Italy, a great stream of hot water! All in all I am very glad Flavia let us stay at her place, and we really enjoyed our time in Rome.
