Do not be put off by the initial impression of the neighbourhood. This is Roma “al dente”, but safe, and it should be experienced as much as the more touristic sites. The apartment is very well appointed, and only a few minutes walk from Termini station and also from a metro stop. It is easy to get around the city from either. Walter greeted us with a smile, an umbrella and a list of reasons Rome is to be enjoyed in the rain. His enthusiasm for his city is infectious, and his tips for places to eat “alla Romana” were bang on. Others have said it..... “stop looking around and book this apartment”.
