Alex and Nau were kind enough to help us get to the apartment. They offered a ride for 25 euros.
The room is an attic so expect low walls and head slamming. However, it makes up for it with he cleanliness and also the spacious balcony for sunning clothing.
There is a nearby train station called Tor Sapienza which can take you to Roma Tiburtina that will connect you to the city. The trains are not as frequent. It comes every 20 to 35 minutes and the gap is longer during the weekends. Best to use google map to help plot your route - I highly recommend that you get an EU sim so that you can navigate around anywhere in Europe.
There's some restaurants around the apartment which is good. There's 2 small mini market around but bear in mind that they close early like around 6/7pm.
All in all it was a good stay. Thank you Alex and Nau!
