Federico was easy to get in touch with and responsive to all of our questions about the apartment leading up to our stay. The place was adequate for three (a little tight) and the rooms were clean. The terrace outside was nice and occupies a common space from the stairway to the neighbor's entrance. The neighborhood is in a great non-touristed area with restaurants and cafes close by. The metro stop is about a 5 minute walk and very convenient. We were able to walk to the Colloseum in about 20 minutes which is safe and interesting, but we found the metro was the most efficient way for us to travel to the sites of Rome from this location during our short stay. Our overall experience was positive, except for when we realized a few days later we had forgotten our ipod on a shelf at the apartment. Stupid mistake on our part and totally our fault. By the time we contacted Federico the cleaning service and another party had already been to the apartment, and unfortunately the ipod was never recovered.
