We loved staying at Ben's place: Testaccio is a cool, lively neighborhood very close to the city center and the sights but not as rushed or touristy. It's easy to live like a local here.
The apartment is well equipped and unlike so many other it feels genuinely like someone's home. I want to highlight the kitchen, which has everything we've wanted to make our own meals. And when we did not want to cook, there's plenty of restaurants in the vicinity to choose from.
Ben was super helpful throughout our stay and went above and beyond to help us when we did not understand something or needed a hint. Thanks!!!
