We were extremely happy with our stay at Stefano's apartment. His friend Luigi was there to greet us right when we arrived, and he gave us great recommendations. The rooftop terrace is just as amazing as it looks in the picture. I agree with the other reviewers that tall guests should be prepared to duck under the doorways. In the end though, I would say that the ceiling height was totally manageable (I'm 6'3"/1.90m) - it's the shower that's a tight squeeze.

The neighborhood is incredibly beautiful and fantastically located, with nearly everything we wanted to see in the whole city within about a 25-minute walk radius. There are tons of excellent restaurants within a couple minute's walk - one of our favorites was MAMI. There's a well-stocked grocery store (Carrefour Express) less than a minute away, and it's even open on Sunday. I would wholeheartedly recommend Stefano's apartment as a home base to explore Rome.

Thank you Stefano - I can't wait to come back!
