Sergio’s Place was a FANTASTIC find during a very stressful time. The day I was to arrive in Rome, my original reservation south of the city fell through after I had it booked for months. The people at Airbnb were so helpful in assisting me getting Sergio’s place booked.
The apartment was immaculate and clean and had air conditioning, which was a huge plus! The stairs up to the loft bedroom were a little scary at first, but once I got used to them I actually found them charming.
The living space was very large and open, and the bathroom was nice and clean as well. Sergio was so helpful in showing me how to use the laundry facilities, as well as pointing out some local points of interest. He also treated me to breakfast on my first full day and showed me some sights in the neighborhood.
One issue I would mention is that although the bus stop is nearby, line 46 is sometimes late or off schedule and the wait for the next bus can be unpredictable. I learned quickly that it’s faster (and cooler) to just walk the 25 minutes to Battistini metro station and take the train into the city. It took me about 45 minutes to get into the city each day from Sergio’s place, which might be a turn-off for first-time visitors. I travel frequently, so it wasn’t an issue for me, but I feel it’s important to note.
Sergio and his place were AWESOME! I would definitely stay there again!
