First and foremost, let me say that Nicola was a very good host in and of himself. Responsive, helpful and accommodating for our early arrival. The terasse and the apartment themselves are very nice looking and
Unfortunately, the rest of our stay was not up to our standards. We had a lot of problems with the Wi-Fi and this caused a lot of frustrations because it made things harder to plan both for our trip inside of Rome and our next trip leaving the city.
That would have been OK had it just been the Wi-Fi, since you could always go to a McDo of something to do this, but the mattress in the bed was very thin and I could feel the wooden supports underneath giving me a hard time to sleep for four days, which made the visit of Rome (which is very big, so a lot of walking) harder than it was supposed to be.
The neighbors were very noisy, so much so that I had to come out of the apartment, speaking to people that barely understand English to ask them to stop making so much noise around midnight on one of the nights we were there.
Lastly, We felt that a 15 min of metro ride in the morning and in the evening would be nice, but it certainly was not. The metro was always crowded and it was kind of hard to stay within range of a metro station in my opinion when walking to discover Rome, sometimes walking to a place that did not have metro station nearer than 30-40 minutes of walking so be preventive if you do want to plan your transport around the metro.
Neighborhood was OK, great gelateria place on the main street very near the apartment.
Overall, we got what we paid for given the cheap price of the place, but I would not stay there again, especially for a four day trip.
