My girlfriend and had the pleasure of being the first guests to stay here, so we like to tell the next guests what to expect.
Arriving:
We arrived on the motorcycle and could park it on the sidewalk (dont know how it goes with cars). Andrea (the host) came down after sending a message and explained the gates etc. His communication the days before were great as well. Responded really quick, friendly and speaking English was no problem.
Neighbourhood:
The apartment is located in Garbatella, a spacious neighbourhood, with lots of beautiful high buildings and a overall great atmosphere. It's not touristic (we liked that) so you have to order your coffe and croissant in Italian. There are some nice restaurant's and bars around. Espresso and croissant both 1 euro. The neighbourhood is a bit far from al the tourist attractions (45 min walk to the colosseo), but there is a metro station 10min walk away, and then you'll be there 25min total (day ticket transport 7 euro). After a day in the busy centre it felled great to get back into the nice neighbourhood.
The appartement:
It's important to know that you share the appartement with three locals, who live there. They are really friendly, and make you feel super welcome. When we were there they all work, and were mostly gone during the day. You share the kitchen and bathroom. The kitchen is well equipped, but the shower goes from hot to cold all the time. The place has a bit of a student house feeling to it (in the best possible sense). In the evening (around dining time) it can be a bit noisy, however the nights where quiet.
The room:
The room is not to big. There is a bed, desk, and closet. The matrass is a really-really soft, and we slept like babies. It is a bit small for two people, but doable. The room has a little balcony with sun in the morning.
Price:
If you compare the price to the rest of Rome its cheap, compare it to Italy its alright, compared to the neighboring countries its expensive.
We stayed for three nights and really enjoyed our stay here. Def recommendable. Overall good value for the money!
