I can highly recommend staying ay Cristiano's place. I stayed there 2-weeks for a work related trip. After a very short time I felt as being home. The room is very spacious and comfortable and you have a great terrace as well. For me the location was perfect, a typical Italian neighbourhood very close to the historic center of Rome. I think staying in Cristiano's place cured my insomnia, as I havent slept any better for a long time. But the most special thing for me were the hosts, Cristiano and Eleonora, themselves. They are amazing and inspiring people. You have your privacy but at the same time you can interact with them and feel part of their home. We laughed a lot and their house is filled with their special energy. So, I have to thank them for making my time in Rome so wonderful =).
