Patrizia’s flat is an adequate and quaint respite in an artsy neighborhood. It was about a 15 minute walk from the Termini station, and we didn’t have much in the way of luggage so it wasn’t too taxing a walk, but admittedly we were quite tired when we finished the walk and climbed four flights of stairs to her apartment. As other reviews have stated, there are homeless people on the way, but no one bothered us at all and we felt safe. I was surprised at the amount of graffiti covering most of the buildings and outside walls however. Check-in could have been easier, as we expected someone to meet us, but no one was there and Patrizia was also traveling. We eventually were able to get in contact with her and found the apartment to be mostly sufficient for our needs. There were some snacks available for us which was a nice touch. We especially enjoyed the fresh fruit and bubbly water, and there was a bottle of wine that wasn’t our taste, but very thoughtful nonetheless. It’s nice to have a kitchen, although we found it not well stocked, lacking adequate pots and pans and cooking utensils. The gas stove’s electric ignition didn’t work, so we had adventures in lighting it with a small lighter that was provided. There was coffee, but the percolator made only one cup at a time, and was old-fashioned (necessary to heat on stove), but again- just another adventure and learning experience. The WiFi was problematic at first, as the information provided at check-in was incorrect, but the correct info is on the modem. The bedroom itself was plenty big for two of us, with lots of closet space and a comfortable bed and linens. The shower was fine, with warm water and nice towels- again sufficiently appointed. I would say these things are important to note: if you’re sightseeing in Rome and need a place to stay near Termini, I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this flat. The amenities and restaurants in the area are sufficient, and it feels like staying in a neighborhood vs a city scene. It was pretty easy to get to the ruins as well as the Spanish steps and the Pantheon and Trevi fountain, once we figured out how to get bus tickets (from tobacco shops, newsstands and some bars) and hopped on the 71, just a couple blocks from the flat. We decided to take a taxi to and from the Vatican to save time, as we would have needed to transfer buses and didn’t want the headache. It was about 20€ each way. Overall, I’d recommend this flat for a no-frills but comfortable stay in Rome. Patrizia is exceedingly kind and communicated well with us while we were there.
