This was a great rental. Good, comfortable bed in the bedroom. Fold-out couch for two more people in the main room. Nice patio, though it gets pretty warm in the summer --good for early mornings and late evenings. The shower is excellent. Significantly larger than most apartments, and with excellent water pressure. Easy access to town via the Pignano metro station (don't make the mistake we did on the first day and walk to Lido). Several convenient bus stops nearby as well. The neighborhood is good. Several good, inexpensive, friendly cafes and restaurants right downstairs. You can eat more and equal quality as to what you get at most restaurants in the city center, but for half the price. There are a couple of markets nearby, and the kitchen in the unit is well-stocked. Host was out of town on a holiday of her own--it was bloody hot!--but she was careful to meet us, welcome us, and make sure that everything was good before she left; and she was excellent at communicating with us both before and during our stay. Oh, and the air conditioners in the unit work very well. We had a couple of 40 degree days, and the apartment was nice and comfortable when we used the AC (turned it off when we were out, obviously). I would definitely recommend this unit to groups of 2-4 looking for a more affordable stay in Rome.
