Agnes was a good host. We met her right at the apartment and she was very accommodating that we didn't tell her what time we would be there until that morning. The location of the apartment was very nice -- close enough to walk to sites like the colosseum. Agnes gave us a map of rome and pointed out some places to eat that she recommended. We went to one of those for dinner that night and it was pretty good (seems like most of the really good places in Rome need a reservation but this place was pretty big and easy to walk in and get a table). We weren't there long and didn't use the kitchen or the washing machine, but the apartment was very comfortable.
