Gianlorenzo's place was a perfect base in Rome - close to metro B (even though the line is was being repaired, they had a bus to replace it) ,major buses, and walkable many great areas. Tons of excellent food options right in Testaccio. It was nice to be in the city but not in the crush of tourists and sites, a bit more peaceful and the lovely terrace at the apartment was good to relax. Room was very clean and well equipped. Building was safe and secure for a solo female traveler. Gianlorenzo was welcoming and friendly the few times we crossed paths - provided great dinner recs (Da Bucatino!) but gave me my space and solitude too, which I appreciate. Overall would recommend and would gladly stay again.
