We had a very nice stay (5 days in april '16) in the apartment of Alessandra and Gennaro ! They gave us a warm welcome and we felt immediately at ease thanks to their warm hospitality. They provided us with usefull tips and hints when we spoke eachother in the mornings or evenings and shared our experiences and interests. We even discovered a lot about the habits and practices of the Italians and compared them with our own's in Belgium. We even got some insight in how the Italians look at the world's economic and social problems which was very interesting. This is one of the advantages of Air Bnb we believe; even if it is just a short daily chat, you come into contact with the local people and you can learn a lot in short time about the way of life of the locals and how they experience and look at the world. The sleeping-room and bath-room were very cozy, neat and tidy, exactly how we like it. The transport to the historic centre of Rome didn't pose a problem at all. Tram nr 8 passes very frequently (never had to wait more than 15 min) and runs until midnight. The tram brings you close to the piazza Venezia in 15 to 20 minutes. We even walked back home at one occasion and it took us about half an hour to get home. The charming old Trastevere-area with it's small but vivid streets and numerous restaurants, pizzeria's, market-squares and bars is not very far and is nice to visit in the evening. We also enjoyed a lot the immense flea-market of Porta Portese on sunday-morning in Via Portuense, just around the corner. For those who like to go out at night, the Parco Monte Testaccio with it's street-art disco's and bars is also nearby. Food is not a problem at all, there are plenty of pastry-bars for breakfast, little restaurants, osteria's, small food-shops and even night-shops in the immediate vicinity of the apartment. We got our own key and were free to come and leave at our own will. If one should force us to write about some minor issue, we can only think about the sirens of the ambulances and police-cars at night that kept us a bit awake during the first night (later on we got used to it). But we have to admit that these sirens can be heard all over the city, and that we are living in the country-side and are not so used to the nightly city-sounds of a huge city like Rome. As it was also very warm at that time, and as we do not like to sleep in an aircooled room, we also left the window open during the night... We should recommend this apartment to everyone who likes to have a cheap, cozy and tidy place to sleep for his/her visit to Rome. You get very friendly and sympathetic hosts and their sweet dog Miss on top !
