This studio flat in Centocelle is perfect for a stay in Rome. I was there for 2 months and loved it. The flat is exactly as it looks on the pictures. It's immaculately clean, the furniture is comfortable, the bathroom has everything - shower, bidé, washing machine - and the kitchen is well equipped though I, because of the length of my stay and innate laziness, missed a microwave. But there's a dishwasher, an oven and cooker, a freezer and fridge, all new and clean. The apartment block itself is newly decorated and very clean and well-kept. The flat is on a raised ground floor, it gives on a yard and is very quiet. All you hear is sometimes a dog barking or some children, but only rarely so. The wireless internet worked really well. I had download speeds on my Macbook of about 9-10 Mb/s but when I also connected the iPhone to Wifi at times when lots of people in the block use the internet (like Friday night) the speed dropped to 1-2 Mb/s. At those times you need to choose which device to connect to the WiFi as the phone will interfere with the Wifi connection on the laptop. But it worked really well, I played Word of Warcraft on the wireless, spoke on Skype and Whatsapp, and watched the news and Youtube. Roberto is a wonderful host. He is helpful and responds quickly to issues. In my case I had some trouble with the handles on one window which were promptly dealt with. The area is well connected to central Rome, and is getting even better connected. Three trams connect central Rome to Piazza dei Pini: line 5, 14, and 19. L5 takes you from Termini to a short (2 blocks = 2 minutes) walk to your doorstep, L 14 as well, but from the other side, by via Togliatti and the walk is about 3-4 minutes, and L19 takes you from Risorgimento (nr the Vatican) to the same stop as L5. Better however is the new underground line C. Until July it stops at Lodi, so you have to walk about 800m to San Giovanni (Line A) but from July 2017 this underground will connect Centocelle (Gardenie square) directly to San Giovanni, and the journey will last about 10 minutes. The area is absolutely safe. It is highly residential, lots of elderly couples, families with children, and people with dogs. There are shops open at 10 pm, restaurants, bars (masses of those), and plain shops, clothes etc. There's a small food shop in the block of flats itself that's open at 10 pm if you need milk, fruit etc. at night when you come home, a chemist round the corner, a market one block down (open on Wednesdays and Saturdays if I am not mistaken), and a Gelateria Artigianale on via Castani just by the tram stop. Via Castani is highly commercial, but for the elegant shops you need to go to the city centre....
