Big room with A/C in 3-bedroom apartment, Centocelle (Rome, Italy)

The rooms to rent on Via Altavilla Irpina are wonderful. The only common areas are the bathroom—where you'll find a washing machine—and kitchen, both spacious areas. The kitchen comes fully equipped with cutlery, dishes and everything you need to fix yourself a meal. There are gas burners and a 3-seat table where you can eat and chat with flatmates. One of the nice things about this kitchen is plenty of cupboard space, as well as a small enclosed balcony with windows you can open up for a little fresh air.

Centocelle is a residential part of Rome, but it’s quaint, quiet, and off-the-beaten track. Still, the subway stops just a 2-minute walk from your door, and you can be in downtown Rome in 20-30 minutes. There is a small grocery store right outside your door, a shopping mall around the corner, and the gorgeous Villa Gordiani Park is just a 1-minute walk away. If you like to eat out, there is a nearby café and pizzeria, and you might want to check out Mazzo. It’s a 14-minutes walk, but the New York Times lists it as a place for great Italian cuisine.
