We totally enjoyed our stay here and would come back without hesitation. Enzo is the perfect host and went above and beyond to ensure our stay was great. He offers a pickup/drop off service from the airport for 40euros that we would recommend. It made for a quick easy arrival, he was waiting for us when we landed and whisked us to the apartment. On the way he showed us around the area and helped us get our bearings. We arrived at the comfortable apartment, great for two but would work for a family of 4 with the pullout couch. He started us out with bread, milk, tea, coffee, some pastries, a cake and cookies ... so we wouldn't starve our first day.
The neighborhood is lively, all locals that speak very little English but the authentic experience. Don't worry about the language barrier though, a little charades and you'll be fine. Everything you need is here, a small grocery store or a bigger one at the Primavera Mall. Vendors, shops, restaurants, bakeries and pizzerias galore!
A main metro line (C), stop 'Mirti' is nearby and will get you to the last stop at 'Lodi' where you can catch a bus to all the sites in the town center. We had no problems getting to anywhere in the city by a combination of Metro, buses, tram or train over our 11 nights here. Use Google maps to navigate or the ATAC civic transport site to plan your routes.
The apartment is well equipped with everything you could need. Two excellent TV's (living-room and bedroom) and a comfortable bed. Kitchen/living-room, good bathroom and roomy bedroom with small balcony and nice views of the city.
The shower is a bit tight and the hot water sporadic ( I am a fit 6.1"/240lbs) but it worked, could be problematic for heavier people. Also the apartment is on the top floor (4th or 5th) 80 steps so requires a bit of fitness, not great for older people. I appreciated it to work off all the pastries we ate, good cardio exercise!
We wouldn't hesitate to recommend Enzo's apartment to our friends and family and would stay here again if we are back in Rome.
