It was our first time in Rome. Mattia was welcoming and waited for us outside the apartment although we were late. He provided us with an iron and hairdryer upon our request. The apartment is spacious and ideal for a couple. It has a lovely terrace facing the courtyard, where we had breakfasts. The quarter itself is not a touristic one, so it would be a good choice if you prefer walking to the touristic sites and attractions. It is a good price-territory wise choice. Rione I Monti area is across the road, approx. 15 min away. The apartment is 20 min walking distance from Coliseum and 5 min from metro station Manzoni. There are small grocery shops and some bigger supermarkets in the area. Termini station and is quite close - 20 min away. Mattia is a good host who is polite and always in touch in case you may have any questions.
