We stayed 4 days with Mattia in his apartment in Rome mid July 2015, and I would like to give my warmest recommendations for Mattia and his apartment.
LOCATION:
The location is perfect - just 2 minutes from the Manzoni Metro station, only two stops from Termini Train Station.
Colosseum is only 10 minutes away on foot, and every major tourist attraction in Rome can be reached within 30 minutes.
A broad variety of restaurants, cafe's and small shops in the neighborhood.
TRANSPORT:
Transport is easy. Metro next door and plenty of trams and bus lines in the area.
HOST:
Very friendly and helpful. Extremely nice guy. Gave us travel tips, restaurant recommendations and stored our luggage for a half a day.
APARTMENT:
Perfectly equipped for a family of 4 persons. Wifi, air con, tv, kitchen, good beds, nice bath room - and not the least a very nice terrace with chairs and a sofa.
All furniture is new and stylish, and everything works.
To sum it all up... We would not hesitate to stay with Mattia next time, we visit Rome. :-)
