Great value for what you pay. When we arrived in Rome by train we transferred via metro and Alessandro met us outside the metro station. He provided very clear instructions on transportation around the city and authentic restaurants in the neighborhood. It takes around 20mins by bus to reach the city center. Public transit at night is less reliable so keep that in mind if you want to stay out late in downtown Rome. There were two other rooms with private bathrooms in this shared apartment and tenants of both rooms were very quiet and we barely bumped into each other in the common areas.
