The apartment is clearly newly renovated and very well taken care of. Everything was spotless when I arrived and it was a great place to stay. Brando is a very kind host, and was very accommodating, especially since I had some extreme flight delays arriving into Rome.
As for the location, if you’re not familiar with Rome, it’s in more of a local area but not extremely far away from more touristy spots (the Colosseum is the closest major landmark). The metro is a short 5-10 minutes away, and the neighborhood itself is pretty quiet. Major plus, the apartment is directly next to a supermarket if you’re interested in using the kitchen during your stay. Overall, I highly recommend staying here and would definitely stay here again myself whenever I travel back to Rome.
