I was arriving to Rome after a week in Neapoli, completely exhousted of the heat and after trying too see all the sights at the Amalfi coust in such a short period of time. After arriving to Termini station by train, I decided to take a taxi to Mr Africanos place. (The fare was around 16 €) Upon my arrival I was warmly welcomed by Mr Africano, who shoved me around his flat and his lovely garden. I immediatly felt welcomed and relaxed with Mr Africano, and he gave me full access to the kitchen and the apartment with all it´s benefits.

The room was clean and the bedlinnen was new, clean towel, fresh shover and toilet right next to the room. Nothing to complain about there.

Since I was out of reading material Mr Africano immediatly borrowed me some books, witch is just a sign of his warm personality and eager to be helpfull.

The first evening I was just relaxing, sitting in the garden, reading and drinking wine. The next morning I was heading for the center of Rome. Very easy to reach from Mr Africanos flat, just take the bus number 451 about 5 minutes, then switch to the Metro and depending where you get of the Metro you will be in the city center in 30-40 minutes.

When I got back in the house, Mr Africano invited me for dinner, he made a traditional Italian pasta dish, and after that some salad and slices of ham. It was very nice to eat a homecoocked italian meal and have some intellectual conversation with the host.

The neighborhood seemed like a nice middleclass area, and the mainstreet was full of different restaurangs and cafés, with a pricerange about the half of what you pay in the center of the city.

I would recomend this place to anyone who is traveling to Rome, and would like to have an experiance that includes more than just Rome center and it´s sights.

I will definitly stay with Mr Africano the next time I visit Rome.
