Lorenzo’s place was awesome! Very clean and modern. Looks as though it was recently remodeled. Beds were comfy and the shared living space was big enough for the small amount of time we spent in that area. Kitchen had everything we needed to hit the local supermarkets to cook some meals and plenty of space in the refrigerator for pastries, drinks and our sandwich supplies.
One of the greatest things about the apartment is the location! Located in the very old Testaccio neighborhood. You will definitely feel like a local and be able to immerse yourself in the local culture. I even got a haircut at a local barbershop! Everything seems like it was only a block or two away from the apartment. Public transportation bus stops are extremely close by and it’s easy to purchase tickets at any of the local tobacco stores prior to getting on the bus. You will definitely want to go to the restaurant- Ai Cocci - next the apartment entrance - it was fabulous!!! We went two times during our stay and was never disappointed. Staff were extremely friendly and the food and wine was fantastic!! Many traditional Roman specialities are on the menu. I even had a wonderful Neapolitan-style pizza on our last night. Lorenzo’s apartment is also relatively close, 2-3 miles at the most to most of the major historical sites in Rome. You can catch the local bus or get a cab (for about 12-15 euros) to most of the major sites. Uber is also available in Rome and we used the service a few times. I will definitely rent this Airbnb when I return to Rome at a future date.
