Gerald was very communicative and had a clean renovated apartment. He was very kind and let us use all the amenities in his place as if it were our own. We even made dinner, and did our laundry. The area was far from touristy, and had a more young artistic/cultural vibe. Lots of bars, restaurants and shops in the area. Very lively at night, so hope you're a deep sleeper. Bus is right around the corner and took us straight to the colosseum. Gerald is a great host, and i would recommend his place.
