I had the loveliest time. I arrived the day Ernesto got back, but he hadn't moved in, so I also got to meet Marinella- who is very very sweet (we had a very pleasant tea together). Ernesto is an amazing host; he went out of his way to make everyone feel welcome and was very interesting to talk to. The apartment is perfect. It is a beautiful, hipster (their centerpiece is a candelabra made out of pipes and their books hang on yarn...), comfortable space in the best of areas. I was also lucky enough to meet the other two partners in this project, both of whom were incredibly friendly and fun to be around. Though I had my own trouble finding it (not knowing how Roman public transportation worked), once I got to walking around a little, I realized how truly accessible it is. I would definitely recommend this to any traveler with an open mind and the willingness to meet new people.
