The place is very conveniently located near the metro(dont have to cross road), laundry(1.5 blocks away, 10-15min walk to colosseum and 1 block away from mini markets and restaurants( I would recommend venturing out further for better places to eat).
The apartment is situated in a very old building, there is a tiny elevator that can take 2-3 people. Dont expect luxury or modern appliances here, things outside and inside of the apartment are a little dated but still functional.
Rene by far makes up for any shortcomings in the apartment. He welcomed me to the apt and explained information on how to get around rome, tips for safety and even provided a map with his personal number in case he needed to be reached.
Rene is a wonderful host, he will make your stay very enjoyable, just make sure to adjust your expectations on the looks of the apartment. For the price this was definitely worth it.
