The apartment is not luxurious, but it is comfortable and clean. The small patio is a nice bonus. I loved the neighborhood. The apartment is halfway down a one way, one lane street off a main road. Very quiet. The main road is wonderful to stroll at night. Tons of trattorias, gelato shops, etc. It is a mid to lower class working and student area, so very friendly and safe, even late at night. That being said, the best part is the host. Mario bent over backwards to help this lone, old lady in every way that he could. His kindness and patience know no bounds. At the same time, he leaves one to ones self, making you feel this is truely your "home". I can not praise him enough. If you don't require 5 star accommodations or even 4 or 3, want to be a part of a real Roman neighborhood and appreciate a host that cares about you, this is your place! When l return to Rome, this is where l will stay.
