Note: this review is actually for Giulia's "Chic and Cheap only 12 Minutes to St. Peter's" listing - it is a full apartment in the same neighborhood as Giulia's own apartment. I had a great time staying in this flat. I really enjoyed the neighborhood, which is more of a normal area, not at all touristy. No, it is not scenic or historic like other parts of Rome, but I think budget travelers will appreciate the shops and food in this area. I was staying in the apartment alone, and I felt safe in this area. It is very easy to get from the nearby train station to St. Peter's, or to connect with the Metro at the Valle Aurelia stop. Additionally, there are several bus lines that go to the city center.
The flat itself is nice and spacious. When I stayed there, the electricity was somewhat limited, but once this problem is fixed, the flat will be great. It is located on the lowest level below an apartment building, and there is a gate providing some security. There was plenty of cooking equipment in the kitchen, and a great grocery store and market very close by, so I enjoyed cooking for myself some nights.
Giulia was a great host, meeting me at the train station and getting me set up in the apartment. She was very kind and made sure there was some breakfast food and all the basics in the apartment for me. I would definitely recommend her apartment!
