We loved the design and decor of the loft. It's perfect for two people or a couple. As other reviewers stated, it is MUCH bigger than it looks in the photos. A lot of living space and bathroom space. We appreciated that we had access to a washer as we needed to do laundry. However, there is a laundromat near by if you prefer to dry your clothes. No complaints regarding the space. It was clean, well stocked, and comfortable.
Location wise it is a stretch in terms of taking the metro to sites in Rome. It is about a 15-20 min walk to the termini (Rome Train Station). However, it really is not connected to a metro or bus. The only bus we were able to figure out was bus 71. It stops down the street from the apartment and will stop in back of the train station where you can catch buses to other sites in Rome (e.g., colosseum). You can also take bus 71 to trevi fountain and piazza venezia. The only challenge we had with taking the bus was the frequency...it didn't seem to come around much and we waited a long time. If you don't mind walking, that is always an option of course. The area the apartment is in known as San Lorenzo is also a bit sketchy looking in terms of cleanliness. Other than that, we didn't mind too much.
We didn't get the chance to meet the host, but the communication was good and we were able to check in and out without any problems. Thank you!
