The apartment is very near the central station (Roma Termini), so coming and going to the airport was a breeze. Benedetto keeps the apartment very clean and organised (everyday when I came back the common areas were clean).
To go to the tourist attractions you have to walk about 15-20 mins, or use the public transport, but personally I walked in the morning and returned to the apartment by bus or subway. The area near the central station felt secure to me, even at night.
Benedetto is super friendly, he made me feel like I was visiting my uncle. He took the time to share some visiting points in a map. He was interested in how I was doing and if I needed anything. He also gave me space and coming back in the evening late wasn't an issue at all. I look forward to visit Rome again and stay with Benedetto.
