The location is off the beaten path, but I was pleasantly surprised by how easy it was to get around on the bus. There are several nearby bus lines that will take you directly to city center attractions without transfers - namely 98/881 to Vatican and H to the city center / forum / trains. Expect around a 40 minute journey each way.
The spacious private back patio, with olive trees and grape vines, is spectacular.
The apartment was clean, and the host Arianna was friendly and responsive.
