Giacomo’s place is a terrific little find for my husband and I and our nearly 18 year old daughter. We have stayed in Rome many times before and really enjoyed exploring San Lorenzo. The University is close by so there are a lot of young people and it has the ‘real Rome’ atmosphere. At night San Lorenzo transforms into a hip and happening place. Bars’ micro breweries and restaurants appear, so many are little hole in the wall places you don’t know even exist during the day. The apartment is a comfortable and relaxing place to get home to after a big day or night out!
Don’t be scared off by the graffiti and any slightly dodgy feel. Get out and walk around coz there is more to San Lorenzo than first meets the eye!
