Staying with Matteo and Bashin was an absolute pleasure. They were both extremely courteous and helpful during my week long stay with them. Communication with easy since they both speak English quite well. The room was spacious and clean upon arrival, and although the bathroom is shared I never had issues with it. Although the place is quite a bit away from the typical touristy spots, they are easily accessible by pubic transit (one light rail train to Piazza Del Popolo/Metro Line A or one bus to Termini Station). On the plus side, the area is the old Olympic Dorms/Stadiums from the 70's, so it is definitely a neat place to explore. They also have a swap meet/farmers market next door on Fridays. Quick notes: The Google directions are not entirely correct, so be sure to ask Matteo for more precise instructions before arriving. Also, if you use the elevator be sure to close the shutter doors after getting out or else you might upset the neighbors. Other than that, I really enjoyed my time in Rome thanks to Matteo, and would stay here again/recommend this place to my friends. The place has all the necessities, the comfort of an AC unit, and is much more affordable than most options in town. Thanks Matteo & Bashin!
