The apartment was very cute and modern. The owner is a designer (I think). She and her husband met me at the apartment for check-in. I arrived in the morning on an overnight flight and they let me check-in a bit early which was very helpful. Alessia was very helpful especially with some of my sillier questions like how to get the stove to work. There is a lot of storage space for how small the apartment is and it is well designed and laid out. The bed is really comfortable! The only recommendation I have is to add a kitchen knife to the utensils in the kitchen. I went to the Testaccio market and bought vegetables and bread and then only had the regular silverware to cut them with. Across the street there is some sort of gallery that I think is connected to the school. There tend to be students hanging out at night until 10pm or so and on Saturdays they hang lights outside and play music until 11pm or so. It was so loud one Saturday, the police came to break up the party.
