It might seem like a big hop away but it’s not. A 5 minute walk to the Metro and a quick access to all of Rome. The benefit of this location for me was the local large supermarket with a great selection of breads, cheeses, dry foods, wine, soap... all you need to refuel. Also the great local cafe shops that beat any star Starbucks. Real Italian expresso. Great way to break your Starbucks habit and do so beating it with quality, price and well... it’s really Italy. Cristina is a jewel. I left my keys in the apartment and she found a way to reach me. She found me on WhatsApp with concern. The apartment is not new but if you don’t mind traveling as you did when in college, you’ll be comfortable. You’ll share the apartment with others and you are lucky as I wins it will be a pleasant experience. Hot water for a long shower is important to me. It took about 3 minutes to get hotwater from the shower head.
