We, a family of 4, 2 adults and 2 kids, stayed in early December for 3 nights at Riccardo's place. The apartment was very comfortable for us and had ample space for our 3 suitcases. Though the main road was just in front of the building entrance, the apartment itself which was 1.5 floors up (need to go up the stairs was informed in the guide) was located on the opposite side and facing an internal courtyard. It was quiet at night we slept without any noise disruption. Riccardo meet up with us during check in and spent a good while to explain the area, places to eat and most importantly safety tips. The location of the apartment is perfect, a short 10min leisurely walk to the Colosseum and the same distance to Roma Termini. We used the private airport transfer to the apartment our flight was 10hrs delayed and we were really tired after more than 24hrs travelling-really recommended, service was very good. Riccardo had advised us on the usage of the water heater for the toilet and we had no issues with insufficient hot water. One complaint would be the bathroom/toilet. There's no way to drain the water on the floor, which accumulates every time we showered. A cold and wet floor during winter is not really pleasant. Overall the apartment was great except for the issue with the water on the toilet floor (especially during cold winter months) and I would recommend it.
