Patrizio's place is on the first floor of a gated apartment building on a quiet street. There's a great bakery and restaurant around the corner (De Santis) and the San Giovanni metro, tram, and bus stops are very convenient. Walking to the Colosseum is a pleasant half hour or so, and the train station is about the same distance. The metro turned out to be very hot and crowded whenever we used it, so we were glad to have so many trams and buses available to us. Patrizio was nice and gave us a lot of great advice about seeing the city. The wifi worked well, and the room was spacious and comfortable. The bathroom is just outside and can be locked with a key to keep it private. The door to the bathroom is frosted glass and the doorknobs of the room and bathroom were quite noisy, both of which detracted somewhat from the privacy and comfort of the room. We appreciated having a washing machine (shared among all the tenants), and a rack was also provided for drying indoors. We didn't use the kitchen, although it was available to everyone. Overall, this room was a good way to stay in Rome on a budget.
