My 5 day trip to Rome wouldn't have been the same if I'd stayed anywhere other than Damiano's. He and his son were so friendly and welcoming; right as I arrived, there was a plate of pasta waiting for me. Several mornings Damiano brewed me fresh coffee, even though I was soon hooked on the caffe macchiati from the local cafes. Garbatella is a magical neighborhood, I ended up spending more walking through its streets than I'd anticipated. If you want to feel like a local in Rome, do yourself a favor and book this place.
