My stay at Lilian’s has been great.
The apartment is very close to Manzoni Station, so very accessible by the metro, but also in walking distance to Termini and Colosseum. My room has been clean, and so has the rest of the apartment been. As a young female solo-traveller, I felt safe in my room, which I was able to lock from the inside (there is a lock for the whole complex, a lock for the apartment and a lock for the door). When I didn’t quite understand how the shower worked, Lilian was quick to explain it to me. Her mother, who lives in the apartment, helped me with my laundry and even offered me food. She was very kind, to which I’m grateful. There is a supermarket just across the street for buying groceries, which I appreciated. I loved the mattress, which was extremely comfortable (which I did not expect for the low price) and the fan, which really helped a lot in the Italian summer heat. The only negative thing I could say is that the apartment is not accessible for people with any disabilities that stops them from climbing stairs. While there is an elevator, it stops mid-levels and so there is always a tiny set of stairs than one has to go up or down. If that isn’t a problem, Lilian’s apartment is the absolute perfect place to stay during a trip to Rome. Great value for little money!
