Albert agreed to host us the night before we arrived, so we were quite happy to get a place on such short notice. His apartment is in the Pigneto area and is easily reached by the trams that you can catch at Termini station. We got the 3 day transit pass and got our 11 euros out of it. It is close to the Sant Lorenzo neighborhood, which has a lot of really nice places to eat.

It has a cute little kitchen, a terrassa and a sofa bed, there are 2 individual beds and the option for a pull out bed in the other room. The shower is a bit small.

We had an issue with the cleanliness of the apartment that we have since reached an accomodation with Albert. (He paid for our taxi to the airport and offered two nights free if we return to Rome.) He was travelling at the time and we got the impression that if he had been in town that the apartment would have been cleaned immediately. However, it seemed that we had the only key to the apartment and would have had to wait and meet the cleaning lady. As it was we were visiting Rome all day and were only there to sleep, and its a great place to use as a base to explore Rome. I would recommend it for the quality and price.
