I think it’s a great place to stay if you are younger. If you have any cardio issues, be prepared to take cabs because the apt is up in a hill. I lived the patio area, the common kitchen, and my room very much! Paolo is a great host! He took care of everything in a timely manner. He added soup bowls when mentioned that only one was in the kitchen, had the light bulbs replaced, answers my calls right away and gave me directions in English. The check in with the keys and codes can be tricky for someone who hasn’t used the system before, but if you WhatsApp The host he walks you through patiently. You’ll enjoy it if your room has a private bathroom. One room in the unit I stayed in had a bathroom off the common kitchen area. I felt like I was intruding on them. Make sure you ask questions and double check! Have fun in Rome! I had a great time! My cab to Ciampino was 55 euros. I didn’t want to walk down to the metro, then take the bus to the airport, even though I already knew how to do it and had a paid bus ticket back because it was too early and I didn’t care to walk the narrow sidewalks down hill, 8 sets of steps and 2 blocks to the metro. So, you can have an idea what a taxi would cost you. If you are during rush hour the can would cost 33-40 euros from Termini. If you have little luggage it’s doable for 1/3 price. Ask Paiplo for detailed directions though. Enjoy!
