We stayed in the apartment for a week and loved it! Just down the road from Termini so perfect for all the tourist attractions like the colosseum. There is a fair bit of graffiti in the neighbourhood but don't let that put you off. Everyone in the local shops and restaurants were very friendly and helpful and the neighbours always said hello. It always felt very safe. Paola was waiting in the apartment for us and went out of her way to give us information- maps, restaurants she recommended and buses to the tourist sites. The air conditioning was a life saver as it was very warm. Would definitely stay again.
