We have just come home after a one month stay in Gabriella’s apartment. Gabriella is very quick to respond and very helpful. The apartment is lovely in a lively neighbourhood. There are many fabulous amenities close to hand, including the best Gelateria we’ve ever come across in Italy! The 170 bus takes you very close to the old Roman sites, but we found it to be unreliable. However, there are several alternatives including getting a 766 bus to Trastevere Station, then an 8 tram. A walk to the nearest metro station (Basilica San Paolo) only took us 15-20 minutes (the tickets work on bus or metro). Places that we discovered this trip - the church of Basilica San Paolo (you will see the gold mosaic facade from the bridge over the Tiber) the Domus Romane (by Trajan’s column) and a night-time walk from St Peter’s, over Ponte San’Angelo to Piazza Navona.
