Antonella and Massimo were both in the apartment to greet us (with a very thoughtful bottle of wine!). They showed us around the apartment and explained everything to us. They are both very friendly and personable. Communication was good before, during, and after our stay. The apartment is exactly like the pictures in the listing. While we were only two people, the apartment could comfortably have held three or four more! The kitchen is very usable (although we ate out every night).The neighbourhood is only a few Metro stops from all the action in Rome, but there is lots to do in Garbatella itself. St. Paul's Basilica is a hidden gem and is only a short walk away. Several restaurants in the neighbourhood worth visiting, including La Nuova Cantinetta and the Sardinian restaurant on the corner. Truly, Garbatella lets you get to know the real Rome - away from the tourist trappings of downtown. No tourist menus in this area! Just be sure to bring a good map because the winding streets of Garbatella can be disorienting.
