Frederic was a lovely and attentive host. He was very quick to respond to my questions and concerns prior to arrival. He provided us with instructions and suggestions regarding sightseeing and restaurants, which was very much appreciated. The apartment itself was cozy and had a comfortable and lived-in feel and it is in an excellent location, steps away from the colosseum. We were greeted when we arrived, first by Frederic himself and then later, by his sweet little grey cat, who stopped in to say hello and make sure that we felt at home. Frederic was gracious enough to hold our luggage after check out, as two members of our party were flying out much later in the day. The bathroom looks as though it has been newly remodeled, so it was a pleasure to use. Overall it was a pleasant and enjoyable stay, but there are a few things to share with potential guests:
The apartment is beneath the host and his family, so you may hear the pitter-patter of little feet during the day, it is also located across a narrow street from a restaurant, so you may hear noise and conversation from diners coming and going in the evening and the apartment is located right near coloseo metro station, so there were times when I am sure I felt and heard the rumble of the trains beneath. I wore earplugs at night, so none of this disturbed me.
Again, overall it was a good stay and we were happy with the experience.
