I stayed at Andrea’s place for the month of October, which meant I got to enjoy the gorgeous ottobrata romana and watch the golden light play over the neighbourhood from the rooftops. The flat is perfect for 1 or 2 people, with a sofa bed that means you could also sleep an extra guest if needed. There’s a kitchenette with basic amenities, perfect for making dinner to eat on the terrace on warm evenings (I loved to do this).
The apartment is in a perfect location in the middle of the Della Vittoria neighbourhood; it’s generally pretty quiet at night, although good restaurants and bars (such as Settembrini, right across the road) abound. From Monday-Saturday there’s a market selling fresh produce just outside, and on Sundays there is often a little flea market in Giardini di Piazza Mazzini. You are within very easy walking distance of a metro stop and plenty of bus stops, though I’d recommend walking into the city centre if you can - it’s only about 30-40 mins and it’s a nice walk over the river. You’re also in close proximity to the Tiber, meaning you can rent a bike or scooter and travel up and down the river along the cycle path that runs alongside it (great for getting to Trastevere).
As a host, Andrea was so helpful - he gave me some excellent recommendations, was always communicative even when he was out of town, and was always on hand to help me work out any issues or problems. I’d happily stay here again!
