We had a wonderful experience at Casa lo Mastro. The pictures reflected well the look and style of the rooms. It was situated in a quiet neighborhood. Although removed from the historic center, it is close to bus, metro, and tram. We actually liked being removed from the busy areas with tourists since we got to enjoy a more authentic Roman lifestyle. There are some nice restaurants and supermarkets nearby. We enjoyed the Esquilino open market and experience a more multicultural Rome than the traditional visit to the historic center.
