Federico’s place is very spacious, clean, and stylish! It is a 15 minute walk to the colosseum and ancient Roman sites. It is a 2 minute walk to the metro (subway) station. In less than 5 minutes, you are at the main station and can stay on the train or switch to go another route. It took us 12 minutes on the metro to get to stop for Vatican City. In the summer, it is a little warm in the room, so sleeping with the window open is necessary. There is a playground for a daycare or preschool right outside the window, so in the early mornings we were woken up by crying children. We found that shutting the window in the mornings solved the noise issue while we slept in. Overall, the place was fantastic. All other guests were quiet and polite. We never actually met Federico because he was out of town for vacation. However, his assistant Monica was very kind and met us for check-in.
