Although we never met Patrizio, he was so helpful and was a fantastic host. I would love to give him 5 stars but unfortunately have to give our stay 3 stars.
Patrizio’s apartment would be perfect for big groups or for the seasoned backpacker who is used to staying in hostels and sharing space with other people.
As we were only staying for the night before we flew home, we thought a cheap place would be fine. However, for my personal preference I should have paid a little extra to have my own space and more comforts.
The apartment is full of soul and character. It looked like it’s been loved and lived in by many travellers. It was nice to see so many messages written on the walls from past guests.
The kitchen is fully equipped and there’s a large dining table and tv.
Patrizio had notes in the nicely renovated bathroom for guests to keep it clean in respect to other guests but of course some people aren’t as respectful.
Our bedroom was the closest to the front door, kitchen and faces the street. Bring noise cancelling headphones or earplugs if you’re a light sleeper.
The apartment is located close to Termini, trams and the metro but it’s about a 30 minute walk into the centre so public transport is a must unless you don’t mind walking. There’s also a supermarket close by and the best gelateria, Giovanni Fassi!
Overall, for the price this apartment would be great if you have basic needs.
