This apartment is really good. Well equipped with many thoughtful touches. We were welcomed by Claudia who provided the information to make this a wonderful stay in Rome. Testaccio as
an area really grew on us. We actually walked to many places despite the heat. Buses, metro and reasonably priced taxis are all available. But take some time in Testaccio. At first, coming straight from Munich, the older area with the graffiti etc was a bit of shock. However it grows on you as soon as you get to know it. Like a box within a box down streets you find excellent cafes, gelato, clothes and shoe shops. As well an unbelievably good delicatessen that is totally world class. Try the little restaurants that set up after 7pm. A bar with 3 pages of Belgian beers or breakfast with the locals at Cafe Linari.
