This flat is brilliant! It is located in San Lorenzo on the "other side" of all the major tourist sights, but this works to its advantage. If you like paying 2.50 EURO for a coffee and an aperitivo, eat excellent Italian food, and share your table with locals not other tourists, this is the place for you. Okay, it may look a little rough around the edges at first (Graffiti, etc) but it felt safe at all times. Restaurants and bars are everywhere, and are very cheap but good. We ate dinner at "I Fratelli" next to the house after arriving at midnight. There are two supermarkets, and the Esquiline Market is a 5min walk away - in case the Roman breakfast of cappucchino and a small sweet cake, to be had in bars everywhere, doesn't appeal.
No 71 Bus stops 200m outside the house and takes you not just to Termini, but right into the centre of town, and it does indeed just take a few minutes. It is also easy to use the Metro by walking to Vittorio Emanuele, a mere 7-8min walk away.

The flat is on the first floor of a well maintained building and in excellent condition. It is comfortable and spotlessly clean, and there is everything you need. Minor flaws are that the shower is a little small but works perfectyly and there is no Wifi. Bed is very comfortable. There can be a little bit of noise outside at night time (people outside bars), but we only noticed this on Friday night, and the windows are double-glazed which dulled any kind of noise, and it did not trouble us at all. We felt right at home here - the kitchen is small but well-equipped, we even cooked on one day, and ate in the kitchen - all easily possible. We couldn't have asked for more.

Check-in was flawless. Due to our late arrival, Marco kindly collected us from Ciampino - he was there within a minute of us arriving, and it couldnt have been a smoother check-in. Amen and Marco were excellent hosts - they were contactable for all kinds of enquiries via mobile they gave us - we didn't use it, but it's good to know!

I have stayed in Rome a few times, and this is one of the nicest and most convenient locations I have had the pleasure to stay in,a nd would do so again without hesitation.
