"Buongiorno il Colosseo" is what we said each morning - Federico's apartment is so close that you feel that the Colosseum is joining you for your Rome adventure. Location is convenient of course for touring it and the Forum, plus we started to get the hang of the tram #3 and some buses plus the Metro station nearby - very handy when feet grow tired. (We used the Roma Pass but be wary the total costs once you pay some admission, train cost to airport, etc. weighed against the ability to avoid some of the queues at the Colosseum.) Federico made us feel very welcome, and we appreciated his help organizing the airport transfer on Friday night. (Giuseppe was so friendly!) Bummer about the late arrival charge but Federico/Matteo greeted us at the door with smiles, which was a wonderful way to start our visit. A number of little touches make him a great host and the apartment is so cute with the blue kitchen, coffee moka, blue tile bathroom, artwork on some walls, etc. Plus the lift is handy and somewhat rare for Rome. Restaurant recommendations were helpful along with tips on public transportation. And Federico was quick to respond on the AirBnB app. It cost our upper-end of accommodation expenses but comparable for central Rome. We'd definitely be back! Thanks, Federico!!
