Vincenzo is a lovely host with great local tips and pointed out an area nearby filled with local bars and restaurants that we frequented every night. We didn't really lounge around in the apartment, walking 30 minutes into the city each day. If you don't like to walk too much there is public transport right on the doorstep. Be aware that the sound of trains is really right outside, it can be a bit noisy. The area looks a bit dishevelled at first but is actually full of hidden gems. When we arrived we weren't so sure, but we left very happy that we had stayed at Vince's place. It's not luxury, but it's a fantastic and affordable place to stay in Rome with great value. We truly felt we lived the local experience. Grazie, Vince!
