Davide was an extremely attentive and kind host, and his place was comfortable, very clean, and well located for exploring Rome. Davide picked me up from the train station when I arrived late at night, even though it is only a 10-minute walk from the apartment; he made me a medicinal grappa glog when I started coming down with a cold. The view from the window is beautiful, looking onto the southern part of the ancient city wall, constructed by Aurelius; and the apartment is within walking distance of the Appian Way, the ruins at Terme di Caracalla, and the Colosseum and Roman Forum, with easy access to transport further north into the centro storico and northern Rome. (If you like walking, it's very reasonable to walk even to the latter parts of the city.) There's some street noise but if you're like me, you'll be tired enough at the end of the day by sightseeing that it won't be an issue. Bonus points for being so close to Eataly, as well! This was a wonderful base from which to explore Rome and excellent value.
