Our stay at Samuele's place went pretty well. It was very easy to access from Termini station - walking with our suitcases took about 20 min. The street it's on seemed very dull, but if you head over to Via Urbana (just a few streets over), you'll find a very cute area with lots of cozy restaurants and a few little shops. This was much more the feeling we were going for. If you search for things in the Monti neighborhood, you'll see what I'm talking about. //// The apartment itself, while plain, was sufficient. Everything was clean and it was nice to have a washing machine. Even though the bed was quite old, we were so exhausted every day that we still slept well. The windows to the street behind are pretty thin. We could hear everything happening in the street quite clearly. My only major complaint is that the shower was broken the whole time we were there. It was a handheld showerhead, but the mount for it was broken so you had to hold onto it the whole time. Pretty annoying, but I guess not necessarily a dealbreaker. Also, a very easy fix. The other annoying part about this apartment was the height of the door frame. If you are over 5' 7" (170 cm), you're going to have to duck every time you want to go back to the bedroom/living room area. Overall, I'd say this is a good option for budget travelers, but we will be staying somewhere a little more upscale next time.
