Alice made me feel very welcome in her home. She made sure I had a big breakfast every morning and was a great host. Everything was clean and the neighborhood was quiet but close to train and bus lines that run to the center of Rome. You will have to walk from Lodi to S. Giovanni but your ticket you already bought will work to get you into the S. Giovanni train terminal. I liked the train system better than the bus system because the buses don't stick to a strict schedule so you may have to wait a long time (30-60 min) for another bus to show up.

There is a language barrier but there are apps and other ways to work around that issue. Alice is a great host and tries to help however she can.

I recommend this place to anyone staying in Rome.
