We had a brilliant time in Rome staying in Giulia's apartment. The area is great - lovely bars and restaurants - and the apartment was perfect for a long weekend break. It was spotlessly clean with a really comfy bed and powerful shower.
The flat is cosy and small which is absolutely fine for a short break but you might feel cramped if you were going for more than a week.
Giulia was a kind and lovely host who put up with my embarrassingly poor Italian (google translate was invaluable!). I'd definitely recommend staying here.
