Ale was a great host and very helpful! He was always reachable and willing to assist. The apartment was perfect for an extended stay. I was there for 7 weeks. It has SUPER FAST internet and two A/C units (bedroom & living room) which are very helpful during the hot summer months. There is a grocery store (Lidl) located less than 100 meters from the apartment and plenty of neighborhood restaurants and coffee shops within walking distance. I felt safe in the neighborhood no matter time of day.
Roma Tiburtina train station is a 10-15 minute walk and from there you can take the metro to the city center or a train to pretty much any city in Italy. There's also a train from and to Rome–Fiumicino International Airport. I had a great time there and would not hesitate to stay at Ale's place again!
