Emilio's place is away from the crowds but very well located. San Giovanni Church and The Colosseo are within wlaking distance; there's an excellent secondhand clothes market just by San Giovanni Church. Buses direct into town run frequently and there's two metro lines within 5 min walk. There's lots of places to eat where you get authetic food at reasonable prices without the risk of being conned for being a tourist. Papero Giallo is an excellent option to get food by the kilo/portion and its just on the corner, service is friendly and great value for money. We would recommend using earplugs at night as the lift is noisy and the walls are thin but this didn't stop us from getting a peacful sleep. Emilio is super responsive and attended our enquiries promptly; his place has a nice view of the communal garden, is nicely decorated and you have everything you need for your stay. I would definitely recommend and stay there again!
