Although based in Berlin, matteo is quick to respond to messages and give helpful tips. His host in Rome was particularly welcoming. The flat is a ten minute walk from the lively restaurants and bars of tratevere and also provides access to most of the south of central Rome on foot. Tram and bus routes are also available on the doorstep. The flat has no internal doors (apart from to the bathroom) so would provide little privacy for four guests. It also made the space echoey and noise from the lift shaft and staircase travels easily.
