This was my family and I's first trip to Rome and we were blown away by how nice the apartment was. It was very ornate and gorgeous. We were greeted by Valerio's mother and shown around. Even though she couldn't speak much English she was very kind and answered us to the best of her ability. Also, there is a good carry-out pizza place on the corner when exiting to the street with a nice staff and a cafe or two right near the apartment. The apartment was a little hard for us to find originally but no problems.
