as is evident from the other reviews, michele is an exceptional host. kind, attentive, responsive, flexible, and a wonderful person you would be lucky to meet. the apartment itself is fully equipped, from cooking implements to metrocards. very nice sheets. the location is perfect: just north of roma proper and just across a big street from juarez (which contained some of our favorite spots from the visit)... both are walking distance. even with this central location, it is still tucked away on a quiet street, just off of a beautiful (almost secret-like) square/park.
