Filippo's apartment was everything we hoped it would be. It is beautifully presented, clean, quiet and fully equiped. Located literally just around the corner from the Colossseum it was perfectly located to allow us to explore Rome and meant that each walk home was magical. There are also a number of lovely resturants and bars and a supermarket a stones throw from the flat (we cooked in one evening and the apartment was equipped with everything we needed to do this),
We didn't meet Filippo but Cate was incredibly welcoming and generous (allowing us to leave our bags with her across the road after we checked out).
I would not hesitate to recommed Filippo's apartment, it helped make our first trip to Rome a wonderful experience and we would definitely stay here again.
