The apartment was spacious, clean and artistically decorated, at the heart of a very quirky and residential Garbatella - apparently the last real Roman area! Really worth a walk around and pay a visit to Dar Moschino for lunch or dinner but book ahead and know some Italian words!
Alexio was a great host, welcomed us warmly and gave lots of advice :-) we definitely made the most out of our visit! Everything you need is at the apartment including a fully equipped kitchen with a dining area. The one issue which sometimes became big was the smell of dampness - there is barely any natural ventilation in this basement apartment so the smell can get quite intense. Leaving the door open or using air con helped a bit and one night it wasn’t that much of a problem.
Thanks Alexio for a great stay, I wish all apartments were finished to such a high standard :-) really impressive!
