Cristina was a wonderful host, she welcomed us with open arms.
My friend and I stayed there for two nights and slept very well both nights. Despite being next to a relatively busy street, there was no noise pollution in the room.
I enjoyed the location because there were virtually no other tourists, just locals. There are two restaurant directly to the left and right of Cristina’s home. While I didn’t eat at either of them, I would highly recommend eating at SalSamente Ristorante Roma. We had the entire place to ourself and it was one of the best meal I’ve had in my entire six week European trip.
We walked everywhere in Rome and took no metro rides. It’s about 25 minutes walking to the Colosseum and from there you can easily reach the other major attractions.
I would highly recommend Cristina’s place!
