Ilaria's place is in the heart of Rome and it was honestly a great place to stay in. While it wasn't near a metro stop, the location worked great for me and my father since he didn't have enough mobility for us to use the metro anyways. Ilaria did an amazing job of letting us know of nearby places to eat and things to do. We felt like Romans walking around the small streets in the neighborhood around her house. Honestly it was an amazing experience in Rome. NOTE: I would recommend this apartment to families with kids more than a group of adult travelers (non-couples) due to the other sleeping options (only one true adult mattress)
