I must first say that my trip to Rome would not have been complete without my stay at Damiano's. The house has all the amenities that you need, is quiet, clean, welcoming, and the rooms are spacious and private. The Garbatella area gives a great feel of an authentic Roman neighborhood, with a grocery store and plenty restaurants nearby. There was even a local farmers market down the street during the weekend that I was there. Very safe, peaceful, and welcoming house and neighborhood.
Getting to the city center was no problem at all. I bought a 7 day pass on the metro (train), which was a short walk from the house and a quick ride into town (15 minutes total).
The host, Damiano, was excellent. He went out of his way many times to make sure my stay (and that of other guests) was perfect. He made it feel as if the house was my own but at the same time was friendly enough to share the occasional morning coffee or evening meal. My experience here was far more enjoyable than any hotel could have been.
Overall, wonderful host, great house and location. Perfect accommodation for sightseeing in Rome, and I plan on returning.
