Mattia's apartment is charming, but it's a maze of low beams, small steps, more steps, a ladder-- it's as though you've entered a space designed by M.C. Escher. The terrace has truly wondrous views. The only downside for light sleepers--you may want to reconsider. Ambient street noise wafts up to the apartment and on Friday and Saturday nights..it's pretty raucous. There's a church bell that rings every 15 minutes... for me it was soothing, but for my partner not so much :~/
However, the location was great to walk to all of the major sights! There is a wonderful family owned restaurant called 'Mario's' just around the corner, on the main street and many places to eat in this neighborhood which is less touristy.
Beware on Holidays if you are coming from Ciampino we waited almost 2 hours for a taxi-- better to take the bus to Termini Station..Mattia's co-host was very patient and waited up for us to arrive-- Thanks Ingrid!
