The host met us on arrival and told us everything we needed to know about the apartment. We were left with lots of good notes on what to do in the area and where to eat, which were all great recommendations. We were provided with some breakfast provisions to get us going, a lovely tart and a bottle of bubbles in the fridge. We couldn't have been made to feel more welcome! We loved exploring the Testaccio area. The neighbourhood is safe and friendly and there is plenty of delicious and varied treats in the hood. It is easy to get into centro historico, either by walking or the 170 bus. It was nice to out of downtown Rome and all the tourists but be close enough to easily do everything we wanted to do in this great city.
