It was the perfect spot for escaping the tourism and experiencing a real neighborhood in Rome. It’s a bit out of the way from the main attractions, but there are a lot of cool spots to eat and drink in the neighborhood itself. It’s near the metro but we just used mytaxi and our feet.
Obvious reminders: watch your head in the loft, of course, and the shower is a bit small by american standards (all European showers are but it’s worth noting if you haven’t stayed in an apartment in Europe before).
Sara provides a helpful map and welcome packet. The apartment is small but not cramped.
She speaks very good English and was available to let us drop our bags early. A block away is a necci, a bar/cafe where we ate a light breakfast of pastries.
Ultimately, I couldn’t have asked for a better space or host for two nights stay! And her small garden/patio is very beautiful.
