In general we were happy to stay at Ezio’s place. The house is as described and Ezio was very quick to respond to our messages. He couldn’t be there to welcome us himself but had made perfect arrangements, thanks for that! Also, he gave us some tips which were very welcome.
Unfortunately we didn’t like the area as much as we thought we would and although Ezio’s place was well connected to the public transport network with busses, trams and metro, it still took us a lot of time to get back home (Rome’s public transport doesn’t seem very efficient). Finally, for ladies traveling on their own: you may want to avoid taking the tram at night as it seems to be used almost exclusively by men at that time (mostly expats from various nationalities).
