Sergio's apartment was lovely, clean and well-equipped. Two double bedrooms which are both ensuite. He provides you with essentials such as olive oil, washing-up liquid, coffee etc and there are two sets of keys which is useful if you are travelling in a group. We arrived very early at the flat and whilst he was cleaning Sergio very kindly let us come in to drop off our luggage and change into more appropriate clothing for the weather, so that we weren't trailing suitcases around Rome for hours. We also got to meet his adorable chihuahua! When we were in Rome it was unseasonably hot and the air conditioning in the flat was efficient and greatly appreciated. There is a bar adjacent to the flat which can be quite noisy and do play music until around midnight, but this can only be heard in one of the bedrooms and i blocked it out with earplugs. The beds were large and really comfortable with great pillows too. The flat itself is off the beaten track, about a 15 minute walk up to circus maximus, but there are regular buses into town if that is too far a walk. Tickets for buses can be easily bought using the 'myCicero' app (and every now and again people come on the bus to check tickets so do buy one just in case). It is about a 10 minute bus journey into town, but save plenty of time if you do have something booked as they aren't the most reliable. Some people may want to stay in a more touristy area but we personally enjoyed being slightly out of town. The restaurants and bars are generally better quality, with really polite service for cheaper prices, and the buses are regular enough and go on late enough that you won't miss anything in the touristy areas even if you are wanting to be out late. For example the local gelateria was amazing, for €2.50 you can get a single generous scoop, which they dip in melted chocolate and put whipped cream on top with a wafer all complimentary! In the more touristy areas a single scoop on it's own is about €3.50. Furthermore there is an excellent permanent indoor market just down the road that lots of locals go to and sell fresh produce. Overall Sergio was very good at communicating with us, spoke really good English and his apartment was fabulous. We really enjoyed our stay, thought it was great value for money and would definitely stay again.
