Shapan is an amazing host. He was very kind when my friend and I arrived to his home. He offered us some juice and cookies and explained to us how his home worked. From the airport to his house is very easy trip on the metro. He explains everything you need to know.
From his house, Rome is easy to walk to the Coliseum and all other sites from there. Shapan's home is near the train station so obviously its busy and ore residential. However, there are really good affordable restaurants near his home and an amazing gelato place. Just ask him for suggestions. Shapan was a great host. I enjoyed the room and the comfort and his kindness.
