The apartment was huge. Big separate rooms for the bedroom, kitchen, lounge and bathroom. Full facilities, all well organized.

It’s a bit old but its also quite clean The old, old life is a little confusing to newbies, so occasionally you might have to walk 5 floors

With easy access to public transport the location is very convenient, a great place to base yourself as you explore Rome. Most major attractions are only a 30 minute walk away and when you’re ready to come home Rome’s well connected public transport system will deliver you almost to the door. Thr apartment is very homely and spacious, unusual for an apartment in a big city. It has a washing machine, so useful on a long trip. It’s a nice place to relax. I had some work to do and appreciated having a nice desk where I could spread out. The neighbourhood is very colourful. This area has a cultural diversity missing from other parts of Rome that I liked. Yes, there are some homeless people there (and quite likely pharmaceutical transactions of an errr informal nature) but they never bothered me at all. Instead you find Indian restaurants, Chinese ladies doing their morning Tai Chi in the nearby park, young people practicing their moves for their insta videos and people of every culture in groups or at cafes and shops sharing the news. At the same time there are great places to eat nearby. The station has a great range of very good restaurants open at nearly all hours and there are other more traditional cafes and restaurants a short walk from the apartment. Oh I shouldn’t forget my welcome. The representative was there right on time with an explanation about the area and the apartment and left me with a bag of treats and a bottle of wine. How cool is that?

The location isn’t for everyone. There’s no way to sugar coat it, the area has a reputation for petty crime and you’ll want to keep your wits about you. Mind you that can be said for all of Rome and frankly you’re probably more likely to be pickpocketed while distracted looking at something spectacular than walking briskly to the apartment keeping a keen eye on whose around. The apartment itself is very secure That said I travelled too and from the apartment at all times of the day and night and had no problems at all. it’s literally 100m from the main station which has a strong police presence so I felt very safe walking home from the station.

Close to public transport, good size for our family of 3. Great ports cot for our 9 month old

Mould Basic like coffee and cooking oil not provided Description of elevator not lost in discrption.
