Carlo was a very friendly host who met us at the apartment in the evening and was quick to respond to our messages of where and when to meet. He also gave us a great recommendation for a restaurant on our first night, which we loved. The apartment is very small but has everything you need for a short stay and was clean and well presented. The location is fantastic - right in the centre and walking distance to nearly everywhere - we only had to catch the bus when we went to and from termini train station and when we visited a park at the edge of the city. The only downside to being so central (and on the ground floor) is the noise at night and early in the morning -
we expected a bit of noise but we had to buy earplugs for the subsequent nights, which helped. Hot water for the shower didn't last too long either, but then Rome in June is hot anyway so that might not be a problem for everyone! Overall, it was a very enjoyable stay and we would recommend the apartment to anyone on a budget who wants a central, lively location in Rome. Thanks Carlo!
