First of all, the location is easily accessible from Termini station, and I was able to do all my sightseeing by foot (Colloseum is not far at all).
Shapan is a kind and agreeable host and was very accomodating when my flight was delayed by 4 hours.
He made me feel welcome by offering me refreshments when I arrived (welcome after such a long day of travel!) and showing me my room and the shared living space. Shapan is friendly and greeted me with brief conversation whenever I came in or out, and overall was easy to get along with. He also provided kind advice about keeping your valuables safe from pickpockets in Rome.
The apartment is VERY clean, the bedroom is large and has a very comfortable bed. The shared bathroom is also immaculately clean, with lots of hot water for showering after a long day of sightseeing around Rome. Definitely recommend Shapans place, great value!
