Gerald was a great host and was extremely helpful with suggestions. Though our interactions were kept brief, the room was everything we expected and we enjoyed our stay overall. He made us feel welcomed and was open to sharing all the amenities of the apartment with us.

Although the place is slightly of the way, we found it handy to always return to Termini and just take the 105 bus back. This was extremely helpful at night when some of the buses in Rome were less than reliable.

The neighborhood is pretty cool but it really comes alive at night as the restaurants open up (and there are some great ones close by). We found that the street noise can pour into the room a little but it's manageable if you just close your windows at night.
