Hi all,
my mum and I stayed in Diego's place for more then a week.
Check in with Diego's friend was nice and easy. It was also very easy to get to the flat from the airport. The bus from the airport takes you to the main train station in town and from there you jump on the underground and walk cca 5min to the flat. Altogether it took us around hour and half. Simple.
Diego's flat is spacious and clean. Looks exactly like on the pictures. Although the road can get noisy the windows are good enough to keep it quite. Theres an air condition in both rooms, bedroom and living room. Very convenient. Wifi worked all the way through.
I liked the area. Although people might say different things I was very happy there. The borough is lovely with lovely so, so English speaking people. As a vegan I found two groceries with vegan products. One vegan gelateria [would you beleive it:)?], amazing pizzeria [also recommended by Lonely Planet], great wine shops and toher shops with cheese and pasta. Theres a market where you can buy not only food but other handy items. Buses and trams take you to the town centre and Vatikan withing 20min, Villa Borghese 35min, Colloseum and Forum is ridiculously close - 2 stops on the underground. Drink and party area Testavere is in a walk distance. You can also do morning runs along the river.
We didnt have any issues. A lot of clean towels to use, iron with ironing board. Even a hair dryer:]
Diego answered all questions I had. Communication with him was very easy. He also texted during the stay to make sure we had everything.
I can only recommend the flat and the area!
