My colleagues and I stayed in Cinzia's apartment for a month while we were studying in Rome. The apartment is wonderful and is a gem in the city! It's conveniently located near transportation, restaurants, and markets. The apartment manager, Mr. Tonino, was excellent to work with and was quick to respond to any of our needs. We loved being able to cook in the kitchen and eat our dinner on the terrace every night while enjoying the beautiful breeze. It is also incredibly convenient to have a washing machine in the apartment to save money on laundry.
Most nights the neighborhood is quiet, but the restaurant next to the apartment which holds karaoke on Friday and Saturday nights. For someone who is traveling, it would be a fantastic opportunity to hang out with and get to know the local community. If you're doing intensive coursework, the next morning you may be a little tired. But there is a cafe near by to provide that caffeine kick!
