Firstly, Alberto was a great host-always responding quickly to enquiries & checking in with us every couple of days during our stay. We stayed in both of his apartments for a total of 9 days & the experience was fantastic!

The 2 bedroom apartment is large & fully equipped for independent travelers. It has a large fridge, 2 bathrooms, automatic shutters on the windows & a/c in the bedrooms - the photos don't lie! The small apartment is also very comfortable & had an awesome terrace/balcony!

Location was superb, being in a 'typical' roman suburb just outside the city walls...the trams/buses are a 2 min walk away & take you to termini (or vittorio emmanuel metro station) within 10-15 mins...the metro system in Rome is very handy & can take you anywhere quickly! The longest we waited for any public transport was about 5 mins! The apartment is close to a small supermarket & has a cafe literally next door for a 1 euro morning espresso. Every night, there is a large pedestrian street set up with bars/restaurants near piazza di pigneto, which is 5 mins walk away & full of locals!

We had a ball in Rome & highly recommend this place to anyone who wants a comfortable pad, just away from the tourist throng, from which to explore Rome.
