Fulvio's apartment in Testaccio is the best base for exploring Rome. It's near to the historic centre and also near to the upcoming Trastevere quarter. There are several bus stops and the Metro nearby - very convenient to get around Rome. Fulvio gave us a very warm welcome and a lot of good advice and a helpful map (grazie mille, Fulvio!). The apartment itself is spacious, clean and has a lot of helpful amenities (iron, washing machine, air conditioning, elevator). The bed is comfy, we didn't try the sleeping couch. We absolutely recommend MamaRoma! :)
