Our host Andrea met us as soon as we arrived, which was approximately 9:30am and held our luggage until check in. The apartment location was perfect. Very close to restaurants, 24 hour grocery store, taxi, and the metro station. The Metro is the quickest way to get around in Rome. There are only 2 lines A & B so not too complicated. Buy a week Metro pass since you will be getting on and off a lot. The apartment was clean and comfortable. We felt safe in the location as well. Very nice stay.
