Ernesto was very welcoming when we got to his apartment, this experience was a lot like staying at a hostel. The house is really nice and artistic, and there is quite a bit of open space. Our bed was very comfortable and there was room for us to stretch here. It was also close to public transit and food, which we more often than not walked to. This can be a bit of a party house, and it was a little off putting that there were sometimes friends of Ernesto's who weren't staying in the house, just hanging out. However, we had some nice late night conversations with Ernesto and some great meals close by. Get lost in the park behind the apartment, eat at Cattive Compagnie around the corner (the best meal we had in Rome). Have a buffet with the locals at Freni e Frizioni and beers at Ma Che Siete Venuti a fa. By the time you get there, Ernesto should have a great map of local cuisine and near by amenities!
