Enzo is an awesome host and the apartment is great too! Although he does not speak English (only through google translate), we could discuss every relevant issue. So do not complicate your sentences. He helped us with airport transfer, and he was perfectly accurate on time.
The apartment is bright and cosy, with great WIFI and a very well equipped kitchen. There is a dishwasher machine too. All the basic ingredients were available (e.g. spices, olive oil, tomato sauce, pasta). Only the shower cabin is small a bit, if you are above 190 cm and 90 kg, you might have problems.
There is a fantastic bakery in front of the house where you can also buy plenty of different hams and delicious foods for breakfast or to make sandwiches. The surrounding area is safe, well-lit in the night. There are cheap shops, so you can make yourself dinner easily, as we did, so we did not check the restaurants around.
Metro C is 3 minute walk, they still building the line you have to change to bus at Lodi. The journey to the Colosseum is about 30-40 minute depending on traffic, but if Metro C will be finished it will not be more than 20-25 minutes.
As a couple without children we loved this apartment, it is most recommended!
