An awesome experience! Andrea was very welcoming and his roommate and her boyfriend were also very nice (they gave me a great tip on a vintage market with local designers). One morning it was was raining so one one of the other guest cooked and we all just sat around talking. The little map Andrea gave of the neighborhood was great for getting oriented- I never would have found out about the cool old chocolate factory without it. Also, the monumental cemetery is worth spending a couple hours walking around in. For San Lorenzo the location of the apartment is good. There is a nice Jamaican restaurant on the corner- take out was enough for 2 meals. I highly recommend this neighborhood to students or people who want to experience modern Rome.

The room is small but comfortable with lots of storage space. The sheets were good quality, mattress comfortable, and everything was always really clean. The wall between the room and the guest room next to it is thin, but everything was surprisingly quiet with the train tracks so close. The interior decorating of the whole house is beautiful. The shared bathroom was no problem even though there were lots of other guests. There was fresh ginger for the tea with breakfast which was really thoughtful.

The co-homing concept worked really well. You could interact with other people but everyone was really respectful and it wasn't loud. It was a really special experience- I am so glad I found it and will definitely come back.
