The apartment is absolutely wonderful and just as described in the listing. However, Dario was unable to meet us and his friend, who was scheduled to meet us, had to leave just an hour after our plane landed, requiring us to pick up the keys at a hair dresser up the road. He was also unable to meet us and pick up the keys. He was usually very prompt when responding to questions via airbnb.

Just a note about the San Lorenzo neighborhood: I LOVE this neighborhood, but my dad didn't so much. It's very young, and can look kind of run down during the day when no one is around but it really picks up at night. That being said, you will hear people outside Thursday-Sunday (if you're not out with them)! There are so amazing restaurants and cafes (Porrca Vacca, La Mucha Bichera, San Lorenzo Caffe). The apartment is just a short walk away from a tram stop and like a 20 minute walk from the train station metro (which is mega stinky - take the tram if possible!) You could take the tram to San Giovanni and the Colloseum or all the way to St. Peters Basilica.

While our overall stay in Rome was really great, I'm only giving Dario's apartment 3 stars because he was unable to have someone meet us on either our arrival or departure date, the fact that there isn't internet in the apartment, and the 35 € cash fee the apartment requires for cleaning purposes.
