The mini flat was truly a pleasure to stay at. A fully stocked fridge with enough food for a few days (fresh fruit, vegetables, milk, juice, biscuits, butter, eggs, etc.) was a great welcome detail from Giusi, who is a heartwarming person. I stayed a month at the mini flat, and every few days she would have a delicious piece of homemade cake or pie for me.
The flat itself is tiny but it has absolutely everything you need to life comfortably... a washing machine, small kitchenette, closet, bureau, television, fridge, freezer, microwave, etcetera. The shower is amazing. And there's a great private patio, excellent to have breakfast outside, read a book, enjoy the weather.
I'm not a dog person, so I was a bit hesitant at the beginning but only encountered the dogs three or four times in a month, and they were very very friendly. I was happy to also receive a visit from a very cute cat on a Saturday when I was hanging my laundry in the patio. (I'm a cat person).
The metro is just a 10 minute walk away, through a beautiful park full of grass and trees. Within 12 minutes the metro takes you to the Colosseum at old city centre.
