Barbara's place is great! Super close to Vittorio Emmanuele stop on the orange line, and a 10 minute walk from Termini (we managed fine with our big rolly bags). Very secure with friendly neighbors in the building. The apartment itself is cute, clean, and comfortable. Big bed, plenty of storage, working AC, quiet (since its up on the 6th floor). Note that the bathroom is not an ensuite, but is just across the living room. It's tiny, but my 6'3" partner fit just fine. Good water pressure and heat, as well. And perhaps the best part about her apartment was Barbara's cat!!! She is so sweet, small, and special and I miss her<3.
Communication with Barbara was only slightly challenging since she mostly speaks Italian, and me mostly English, but we made it work! I also know she has unconventional work hours, so I think that affected her timeliness in responding but overall, she always got back to me and was super chill and flexible, which is a breath of fresh air compared to chaotic Rome! All in all, this was a great place for 2 nights in the city!
