If you are visiting Rome for the first time, Maddalena is an excellent host. She was so friendly and responsive. Our flight was delayed 3 hours, so she coordinated with the building manager to let us in. Her place is located within eyeshot of the Colosseo (Colosseum) and it’s adjoining Metro stop. The building is a charming mix of antique exterior façade and a very clean and modern interior.
The flat itself is exactly what you’ll need after a long day of touring: a full kitchen, a comfy sofa, a rather large and recently updated bathroom with a great shower (and rainfall shower head). Oh and a very comfortable memory foam bed. It’s great to sink into when you need to
relax.
Conveniently located in Via Labicana, which has direct bus and streetcar access to Piazza San Marco and Piazza Venezia which is the core of central Rome. You can easily walk or grab quick public transit to all the sites you’ll want to see. There’s streetcar and bus stop directly outside the building.
When it comes to food and shops, in 10 minutes you can get to the Monti section of Rome which has endless food options for all budgets.
Lastly, only a few steps are required as Maddalena’s place is on the ground level. You will notice some noise from the front door opening and closing in the hallway, but in a city as lively as Rome, it’s not a big bother. Plus the residents in the building are very nice and mannerly.
