Manuel's apartment is in a great location for moving around Rome as its a 5 minute walk from the metro. Its in walking distance of a lot of popular tourist sites so is a great base for a sightseeing break.
The apartment itself is small but you have everything you need, the beds are comfortable, the shower is powerful, the safe is easy to work out. Because it's set back from the road you don't hear a lot of noise overnight but you do get some from the carpark which is next door from early morning onwards. You also have the police headquarters overlooking so you feel very safe.
Manuel himself is a very easygoing host. We had great communication from him before and during our stay. We didn't personally meet him however he gave us the names of 2 staff members of the Irish pub nearby who were extremely helpful and were happy to give directions and advice when asked.
I'd recommend this place to those who are looking for a base and I'll definitely use it again when I come back to Rome.
