We had no clue where exactly we will be when we booked the apartment, but as it turned out we ended up in a great place (that had a huge collection of good rap vinyls! dayum!), not too close but not too far from the city, in real Rome I feel, located near a pretty cool neighborhood of Pigneto. It's simple enough to get to the tourist locations but it helps that Lisa and Filippo are always happy to tell you the where-what-how's to help you orientate. The apartment is very nice - awesome kitchen; the room you will be staying in is a very nice studio room housing a couple of turntables and some interesting books, so the little time that you do spend inside will be very comfortable :) I think the choice of this place made our stay in Rome all the more unique and interesting!
