I highly recommend Gerald’s apartment. I stayed for about 2 weeks and found it incredibly enjoyable. The apartment is conveniently a 5 minute walk to the Subway station and there is a tram that runs right in front of the flat that goes directly to Termini station. Usually it takes no more than 20-25 minutes using public transport to get to Termini station from where the entirety of Rome through the public transport system becomes available to see (Colosseum, Pantheon, Trevi Fountain, Vatican City, etc.) There is also an elevator in the apartment building so getting up and down to the flat at different hours of the day with luggage or groceries is easy as well.
Gerald is also very helpful and the first day gave us so much advice on what to see and where to go eat. Whenever we had a question, Gerald got back to us immediately and made sure to help us in whatever capacity possible. He is an amazing host!
The amenities in Gerald’s apartment were great! We had full use of the kitchen and there are three grocery stores nearby so cooking meals was easy. There are also numerous places to eat right near the flat so going out to get food is convenient and many places are open till late into the night.
The bathroom is fully functioning and had enough space for all our items. There is no AC but the fan in the room and an open window made the flat cooler to be in. There is a laundromat nearby if guests ever want to do their laundry.
There have been comments about how it can get very noisy because of the tram and cars that you can hear from the window. I will say that things tend to be quieter in the later parts of the night/ early parts of the morning and closing the window reduces the sound coming into the apartment.
Overall, would highly recommend!
