I stayed for three weeks and loved every minute. It is hardest to say what the highlight is- Lorenzo and his family themselves, or the flat!
The place was very clean and comfortable and they made sure I had everything I might need- including a full carbonara instructions- so you can see we are down to the nitty gritty essentials for Rome! The main eateries are over in Testaccio - a ten minute walk. The neighbourhood is incredibly quiet ( though I was there for most of August when most of Rome is on a beach - a lot of the restaurants were closed)
Speaking of which- 6 minute walk to the three stations on one site. Port S Paola gets you to excellent beaches & Ostia Antica. Pyramide, to the centre of Rome and trains every 15 minutes from Ostiense to Fiumicino Airport. Couldn't be better connected.
Though when I come back I won't need these as I won't be going anywhere- just working my way round the restaurants in Testaccio!
But then that might make me too big to get in the flat- it is accessed by quite a narrow door.
The beds were very comfortable and the pictures on the website are an accurate reflection of the place- it is beautiful and well thought through. The courtyard is lovely and I had the pleasure of taking care of Lorenzo's 'Sushi' for the three weeks. I just hope the lemon tree survived my care.
So all in all I'd give it 6 stars, but I'm not allowed. If you are hesitating booking a stay with Lorenzo and Emma, then you are mad. Book it now.
