This place is in great location. Right on top of a large grocery store. A metro stop is on the same block. You can easily get to everything in Rome via the metro. The regional train is a block away which goes right to the airport. Lots of restaurants nearby. Very, very convenient location.
The building is dark, dingy, and not so clean outside the apartment, however.
Beware, you need to buy your own paper towels, because the host does not provide them. The host also rations toilet paper. You can ask for another roll but you may be better off buying your own toilet paper from the grocery store below the building.
Brando was very communicative and showed us around the place upon check in. He quickly responded to messages. The shower drain was blocked, and he came and fixed it right away.
