After a very early arrival from UK to Rome , Anna allowed us to leave our luggage in the apartment way before the allowed time, we were very grateful as we were then able to have a wander around the area and find our bearings. The area is very colorful With Characters and graffiti, nonetheless we thought it was very good as so central and some great places to eat cheaply. THe flat was spotlessly clean and the Orange bedroom had very comfy beds. We shopped in the local supermarkets on some days, Try Conad which is the old Billa supermarket . There wasn't a visitors book in the apartment to add comments or glean comments which was a shame, as these are useful . We had 3 day trips out of Rome, to Tivoli to see Villa d'Este , stunning. Orvieto a hilltop town, with Etruscan caves and amazing Cathedral. Then to Osta Antica an old roman site, not dissimilar to Pompei. 2 of them took about an hour by train. and being so close to the Metro and the main line Trenitalia line was super. Bought a 7 day metro card for €24 good value for money . You need a good map. The tourists info ones aren't . Thanks Anna for your help , we had a great time . Walked 55 miles in a week! Hazel.
