Superb location! Less than a minute walk to the main train station (Roma Termini) where you'll find the Central Market filled with cheap delicious eats & drinks. We ended up having breakfast there every morning during our 4 nights stay. The neighborhood may appear a bit rough at night but not once did we feel in any danger.
Marco is an amazing host - we had a delay with our arrival and he waited for us outside his apartment for over an hour near midnight. He gave us an extensive list of recommendations for a special night out we had planned prior to our trip, and was always quick to respond to any questions we had during our stay.
Highly recommended!
