I loved my stay here! I lived here for a month. Alex greeted me upon check-in, gave me a tour of the house and ran through how everything works. He was patient showing me how to use an Italian key for the door — it was a great culture shock!
The room is actually bigger than it looks in the photos, so that was a great surprise. My favorite part about it was the view — it is absolutely GORGEOUS! It’s such a nice thing to wake up to in the morning.
I stayed here in August, which is the hottest month of the year here. Sadly, there’s no AC. Although there’s a ceiling fan, the room still gets pretty hot. But it got a lot cooler as the temperature dropped, so it turned out fine!
The bathroom was nice + modern; there were some plumbing problems with the shower, but Alex made sure to have it fixed right away!
The kitchen has everything that you need. Only thing was that there was no microwave, but it wasn’t a major setback.
The location is just a little outside the city center, but with the bus lines only 2 minutes away, you can get there in no time! A huge plus is that the metro station is only about 5 minutes away. It’s very close to Trastevere — a hip, picturesque area with tons of restaurants, cafes and bars.
Also right downstairs of the apartment is an amazing, cheap pizza place (one of the best!), as well as a grocery store and pharmacy just across the street.
Overall, my stay here was much better than expected, and it made my first time to Rome a great experience. Thank you, Alex! :)
