It was our first trip to Rome and even if we stayed only for three days- it was so special and made it really good by staying at Roberto’s studio apartment.
The location is just perfect! The apartment is literally less than 5 mins walk to the nearby Manzoni metro station and from there you can go to any of the main city’s attractions.
The actual apartment itself is more than we expected. It is really spacious for a studio apartment, very clean and has a special sky light feature! It’s perfect for a couple or single occupancy. It has toiletries, basic stuff you need for cooking etc.
Good communication we received from Flaviana who was helping Roberto. We’ve never met Roberto but we were received by Nestor who was ever helpful and so nice and welcoming! Nestor told us about how and where to go places etc which was really helpful.
The apartment is close to the Coloseum; Roman Forum; Other Basilica of St.John Lateran and the Holy Stairs. It’s like 10-15 mins walk. Very convenient!
The Manzoni metro is your main train line - it takes you to the places you wanted to go! Metro is so much better than in London and only 2-3 mins wait but very busy especially during rush hour. From the Fiumicino airport, you can take shuttle bus service rather than a train (it’s cheaper cost about €6 one way)- it takes 50 mins to and from Termini Station. From Termini station, you take the line to Anangnina and only two stops away to Manzoni station and you’ll be in the apartment in no time.
Italians are really friendly and helpful- never had a dull moment. Don’t leave without trying the hot chocolate and their lovely pastries!!
Anyway totally worth it! I would recommend visiting Rome again and staying at Roberto’s place again! X
