Matteo was kind enough to offer to pick us up from the airport which is an hour away from Rome so we appreciated it! He was easy to communicate with and quick to respond to our inquiry.
This spotless apartment is on the third floor with a quiet elevator that was always available in a building with a concierge. The terrace faces north towards an Observatory high on a hill. In the nearby trees parrots would come by each day, we saw as many as 10 at a time. A supermarket is only a block away, a laundry down the street, ATMs are close as are wine bars and pizza places, the Vatican an easy 10-12 block walk. We walked all over the neighborhood day and night with no feeling of fear. Since it is January, the heat worked perfectly. And the large bed is very comfortable.
Matteo has decorated his apartment with a large variety of photos of Rome which make it quite inviting. The access to the terrace from both the living room and bedroom was through great large doorway windows which provided nice views and generous light. My husband and I enjoyed our two week stay and wholeheartedly recommend this place!
