This apartment is the perfect place for a couple or friends. It is about a 10-15 minute drive from the city center. I had a car and a layover before my flight early the next morning so needed a place for one night.
John is a wonderful host. He was quick to answer any communication. He was very relaxed about my check-in time and met me as soon as I arrived. He gave me great ideas for an evening in Rome and mapped it out for me. He lives in the apartment next door so is right there if you need anything.
The apartment is as described and the pictures are very accurate.
The neighborhood is the EUR which has a beautiful park and is very residential. It is a little far from the center of town and main tourist attractions but close to a Metro stop. I didn't see any shops or restaurants within walking distance but I had a car so it wasn't an issue.
Again, great value for the price and extremely friendly host. I would definitely stay again.
