Just returned from a fantastic 3 night stay at Fabrizio's place.
Room is just like the photos, modern apartment, clean, comfortable bed. Balcony overlooking busy road and Aurelian wall and lovely Cyprus trees. Basic breakfast available in shared kitchen and common area, cereal, croissants, bread but wasn't sure about milk and butter so bought own milk and didn't bother with bread. Tea , coffee. Shared fridge available.
Noise from local disco every night but it didn't disturb our sleep.
A few minutes walk to Pyramide metro station which is then 2 stops to colosseum. Bus stops and tram stops in same location so good transportation links. We bought the 72hr Roma metro pass for 18 Euros which covers bus, tram and metro, from a magazine stand at the metro station
Pyramid of Cestius opposite metro station, we visited the Protestant cemetery where Keats and Shelley are buried. Great view of pyramid and amazing grave stones if that interests you!
There are restaurants and a fantastic gelateria a few minutes walk away, for great pizza I recommend Porto Fluviale, where they make the pizza freshly in pizza ovens in front of you. There is a small supermarket underneath the apartment and when that is closed there is a Carre Four in the area where the restaurants were. Fabrizio is the perfect host, from booking to arrival his response to my communication was fast. He collected us from the bus station in his car, which goes beyond what I would imagine other hosts do.
If we were to return to Rome, we would definitely come back to stay at Fabrizio's!!
