Absolutely outstanding! Silvano and his wife Laurie are FANTASTIC hosts! Not only did Laurie pick me and my sister up from the station, but she also took the time to give us tons of helpful tips on places to check out in Rome, what to avoid, etc. She showed us around the house to explain where everything was and how things worked. I was totally overwhelmed with information, but I was so grateful and impressed! She sent me all of the information on places to eat and things to do. Just phenomenal! The apartment itself is very clean and spacious, and it was definitely one of the best places we stayed at throughout our Europe trip. It was close to the Ostiense station and a bunch of bus stops, which worked out pretty well. (MAJOR FYI, the bus system in Rome is REALLY bad, despite it being the main form of public transit throughout the city. If you plan on taking it, be sure to allow yourself half an hour to an hour of waiting time just in case. As all the Romans will tell you, the bus schedules are a lie, and so are the screens posted at stops tracking the wait times.) Additionally, the apartment is located in Testaccio, which is the neighborhood to find real Roman and Italian food. It's not at all a touristy area, which may or not be what you're looking for, but it worked out fantastically for me and my sister. Anyway, I absolutely recommend staying here! It won't be at the dead center of Rome, where all the bustle and excitement is, but I hardly consider that a loss. I still had a great experience!
