Pros:
Giuseppe was very easy to communicate with. He responded quickly to all queries and also sent us an itinerary for Rome.
Giuseppe’s apartment is sparkling clean and spacious. The first floor apartment also has a lift, which makes it convenient if you have a lot of luggage and also suitable for those with any physical disability. The beds are very comfortable.
The residential neighbourhood with its restaurants, supermarkets and public transport connections is convenient and quiet. There are direct buses to the city centre and the Termini station. There is a also a metro station close by.
Cons:
The local bus service is not reliable as mostly the buses are behind schedule. So, you may end up spending time traveling between the apartment and the city centre. On two occasions, it took us an hour to get to the apartment because of long wait times for the bus, which otherwise should have taken 20 minutes. This is the sole reason that makes it impractical to stay in Re Di Roma. But if you plan to take taxi or rent a scooter, Giuseppe’s apartment is a decent choice.
For summer months, the apartment may not be suitable as it has no fans or air conditioning.
The wifi speed is poor.
Although the neighbourhood has trattorias, gelatarias, and supermarkets, it is not very hip and touristy if that’s what you’re looking for.
