Costanza is a great host, and her English is perfectly fluent wich is blessing. :) We came 4 or 5 hours late because of railway strike, but she wellcomed us no problem and was very sweet. The appartments is her home so there're just everything you may need for living, and we were allowed to use all the groceries for cooking. First CONTRAS, in case you're looking for quietness in big city: there're small but noisy street right near the house (no people but a lot of cars and scooters), and windows unfortunately are not too soundproofing; and also there's not soundproofing walls but some loud neighbours, a man right behind the wall was bellowing 3 mornings of our 6, throwing things on the floor, pushing furniture and seemed really mad and not mentally healthy. But here're PROS: we were sleeping surprisingly good dispite all that night scooters, and the neighbour man's raging only at morning, since 7 or 8 o'clock, and quiet at nights, so its also may be no problem for you if you like to get up early or need some good alarm clock ;) And MORE PROS. The studio itself is cool, spacy and stylish. There's some unique cool microclimate just around this house, and windows are on a shady side, so there's no exhausting heat, and nights are pleasantly cool. The surroundings are absolutely friendly, pretty and safe. Please do not buy food in supermarkets, just go to the farmers market (12 mins by walk, ask Costanza about it), its absolutly great, with Italian spirit, and the food is supertasry and fresh. Use tram 8 to get to the center of the city: buses can be frustrating, but Rome's trams are like a subway in any other big city. I'd say we were happy enough to stay at the place and would readily recommend it if your're looking for safy roman surroundings with no tourists, great market and dont mind some noise at mornings.
