The listing description was very accurate, Mario was there to greet us and was very welcoming. The apartment itself is modern and nicely decorated and situated in a quiet area with plenty of shops to stock up on supplies.

On arrival Mario provided us with local contact numbers and the best restaurants in the area which came in handy. The kitchen is fully stocked with utensils and things like olive oil, coffee/Moka, etc..., which was a really nice touch. The Wifi in the Apartment was great, it allowed us to do a bit of research at night before we set out the next day.

There is a Red Line metro station at the top of the street which provides transport to the main attractions in Rome (Spanish Steps, Vatican, Villa Borghese, Castillo Sant Angelo). The rail line tickets cost 12.50 euro for a 48 hour pass which gives you access to unlimited journeys. i would advise anyone going to the Vatican museums to book a few weeks in advance as we were able to get the Metro up early and skip the Queue with an online booking.

The forum and Coliseum are 10 minutes walk from the apartment are very nice areas at night.

The apartment itself is surprisingly spacious and very well equipped. My girlfriend and I where able to make bacon and eggs most mornings using the utensils that are provided.

In July the temperatures in Rome are at times unbearable but the air conditioning in the apartment was more than a match, providing a comfortable environment to come back to after a long day of trekking.

I would highly recommend this apartment to anyone and if I were staying in Rome again definitely contact Mario about his place again. ('',)
