Our plan was to see Rome and some other Italian cities in 8 days, so we were outside most of the time and the apartment is perfect for that kind of plan. There's a comfortable bed, there's a shower, there's a kitchen, there's an air conditioning. There's everything you need to rest well after whole day of walking and sightseeing. The first floor where we have been is smaller than ground floor but it was still cosy, not tight and it has 360 degree balcony. If you think about spending all of your time in the apartment and you care more about the vibe than luxury, it's possible not only because of the balcony, but also because of small garden in front of the building. We don't recommend doing that, but be aware that you can :) About the view, it's not something special, the best view you can have there is looking at Francesco's place from the outside or looking at the garden from the balcony, everything behind the fence is not something to look at. The localisation - it's not centre of Rome, but metro station is really close, so you can go everywhere you want efficiently. Finally, few words about the host himself. Very kind and happy man, who explained us everything we should know very clearly and it was pleasure to talk with him about our trip and plans ;)
You cannot find anything better for this price (you can try, but it won't be that nice) ;)
