Edda’s place is in real Rome, Testaccio, not the tourist center. And that’s a huge plus: the apartment is quiet, yet a block in either direction are two lively piazzas that function as the neighborhood’s living room. 5-10 minutes from the subway, and one street away from several major bus lines. The apartment makes a great crash pad: more a spot for sleeping and nursing a coffee than for spreading out, its efficient and cool layout makes the most of its small footprint. A small issue with the shower drain was the only downside of the place. Would definitely stay at Edda’s place again.
