Matteos place was really great. 1st impression was that it was clean throughout the apartment and nicely decorated. Space was more than enough for a family of 4 with 2 teenagers. 5-6 is doable.
Linens and towels were very good, clean and comparable to a 3 star and over hotels.
All appliances work as described, the toaster just needs a little getting used to.
Essential kitchen and dining wares are present. A typical Euro style grocery store is just next door and there are a lot of eateries, gellaterias and caffe shops within the neighborhood, just walk, explore, get lost and discover. Area felt safe even late night.
Another outstanding part is the toilet and bath, modernized with good hot water pressure and complete with toiletries. Even had a small clothes washer which was essential to us.
Matteos' folder has tips on local restaurants, communication and assistance is excellent, as we had a little issue with the stove.
Overall, we were very comfortable in his apt. after a whole day of doing tourist stuff. Place was quiet even though it was only a block away from the Vatican museum entrance. St. Peters square is about a kilometer away. Public transport is at the corner of the block for buses and closest metro station is around 400 meters.
Would highly recommend staying at his place whilst in Rome.
