Privacy
We rented a studio within an appartment. When you enter the apartment, the studio is seperated with two doors from a common livingroom/kitchen. The studio was very private, enenthough there were two other persons in the apartment.
Studio
The studio has a nice small kitchen (one pit) which can be used for cooking. There is also a larger kitchen in the common living room for when you need more than one pit. If the window in the room was open, you often heard people outside, but when you closed the window it was completely silence (very nice). Therefore, we have never had problems with noise in the night, eventhough there are many students living nearby. There is a sofa that can be unfolded as a bed. The bed above the sofa (high sleeper) is very comfortable. If you are cold, you can turn on the heater which boosts the temperature in the room in no time. You have a private bathroom consisting of a bath/shower, a bidet (not really something that Dutch people use.. :p) and a toilet. The studio was very clean and well organized.
Location
The studio is close to the tram (5-10 min walking) or bus. The metro (at termini) is roughly 15 min walking. The area close to termini is not a really nice place (many homeless people, and filthy streets). We therefore prefered to take the tram or bus instead of walking to termini. The neighbourhood close to the apartment is crowdy, but not dangerous or whatsoever. There is a very nice 24/7 supermarket on a 2 min walk. There are a few restaurants/bars where you can eat apperativo or get some drinks.
Renters
Dario and Federica are very kind people. They told us about good places in Rome where you can eat, how we can reach the city center, invited us for diner with their friends, invited us to a whine tasting event, and more. We had continuous contact via the phone. When we needed something of Dario, he was always ready to come over.
We were very satisfied with our stay. Whenever we are coming back to Rome, we for sure will check whether the Studio is available for renting! :)
Cheers,
