After staying two weeks in the Testaccio area of Rome, I already want to stay another two weeks. Plenty of neighborhood services, restaurants, grocery, etc. No lack of anything locally from a service standpoint.
A few things about the apartment...Internet works great, video calls were all good, not a single problem. Full size refrigerator and plenty of things to make basic meals if you wanted to (stove is induction). Clothes washer is efficient (no drier, but they have drying racks in the bathroom). There is plenty of space to LIVE, you can sit at the dining table and relax, or hang out on the couch, it's NOT cramped for two people to work and live. Plenty of light. That bathroom tub is REAL. And it's big! No camera trickery. It's a bit of a step to get in and out, though. The bed is a standard king and sits low to the ground. It is worth noting for those who don't like stairs, you are going to climb 4 flights of stairs to get to the unit, there is no lift, but this is common in Italy. All of the air conditioners work, as we hit a bit of a hot streak of over 90+ degree days, we never had an issue with the air conditioning and the windows are dual pane, so the street noise is minimal. Building and neighbors were all quiet during our stay.
Our hosts took care of us very well, helped coordinate airport transportation in/out, a last minute need for an iron to take care of some wrinkled clothes, and kept in regular communication to see if we needed anything throughout our stay. All great. Couldn't have asked for a better trip or better hosts.
