Our stay at Alessandro's apartment was totally amazing. He was such a nice host and picked us up from the train station. After that he showed us the neighbourhood and gave us some insider tips concerning restaurants and sights (You should definetly go to those restaurants, the food was perfect!) At the end of our stay he drove us to the train station and made sure that we bought the right tickets.
The apartment itself was clean and comfortable and also the bathroom was totally fine. The kitchen is alright, and although we didn't cook anything, I guess there is the possibility to cook some small meals.
The bus and train connections are easily to understand and although you need ca. 30 minutes into the city center, it is all fine and you get everywhere without complications. Rome all in all is very compact and you get around quickly by walking.
So if you want to find out about Rome outside of the tourist zone, but still be able to see all the culture inside you should definetly book this apartment. It was a very pleasant stay.
