Ugo’s apartment is fantastic. It suited our needs perfectly. Nice kitchen so we could cook meals, excellent sleeping quarters, the best WiFi we used in our 6 weeks in Italy, tv with the super tennis channel which I love. If you’re interested in views of Rome,sunsets, the three rooftop patios are tremendous. The location is wonderfully convenient. A walk to the colosseum is 25 minutes. In under an hour you can walk to Borghese gardens, piazza navona, travestere etc. early on we discovers the bus routes. Two blocks away you can hop on a bus and ride to many locations. Great way to see Rome for cheap. We found lots of food, both grocery stores and bakeries spread throughout the neighborhood. While we didn’t go to a restaurant we walked by many that were very well attended. My wife loves open markets. There were several very close by.
Ugo is an amazing host. He met us at the apartment showed us around, sent us valuable information on where to shop, the closest pharmacy, and how to get around. He came over with his wife the first night and we chatted and laughed like old friends. On our final day in Italy he drove us to the airport. Truly exceeded our expectations. We really feel like we made a life long friend and would look forward to hosting him and his wife in the us sometime in the future.
