We spent a week in Marciflavio’s wonderful apartment. He made us feel very welcome by arranging transfers and greeting us with a nice bottle wine etc on arrival and he was on hand to offer advice on restaurants etc when needed (Try Big Friends Rome). The apartment is very well appointed and was plenty comfortable for the 5 of us. The apartment is close to bars, restaurants and supermarket in San Giovanni and the 87 bus leaves from around the corner to Colosseum and Pantheon areas of town. The metro is about 10 mins away but we found the bus convenient but would advise using the transport app and not relying on contactless as we saw it wasn’t working on some buses and the inspectors are fairly common around Colosseum handing out fines. All in all a great apartment in a quieter area with great transport links to the main sights.
