Very clean, comfortable and modern apartment. If you like IKEA you will love this space as it is an IKEA wonderland. Daniele is a great and responsive host. The apartment is also very close to an excellent grocery store and diner.
The only downsides to this location are the fact that you don’t have an assigned parking spot and there is some rigmarole associated with the public transportation. There is a private parking lot but it is a first come first serve lot for any tenant which is annoying because you potentially could get aced out of a spot especially at busy times.
In terms of navigating public transportation be ready to walk to the bus station about a quarter mile away or walk/drive to the Laurentina metro station. The challenge with any bus in Italy is that you cannot buy a ticket on the bus so either you have to buy a transposition ticket earlier or run the risk of getting audited and fined. Once you buy a multi-day transportation pass it is less complicated but you need to be prepared. If all else fails, you can walk the mile to and from the metro station which we had to do when the bus line we usually took didn’t offer rides on Friday night.
All in all, Daniels’s place is a great option for families and individuals looking to stay outside of the hustle and bustle of Rome and plan to use public transportation. It is also a 20-30 min drove to the airport which is convenient .
