How host and her brother and father did an outstanding job communicating with us. They gave us lots of local information and were very helpful. Due to the heat waive in Rome, they supplied us with additional fans to help cool us down. The apartment was very large and spacious with lots of extra rooms. The number 8 tram line goes directly by the house and into downtown Rome in just a few minutes for 1.5 euro per person each way. The older popular part of Travestere is a 15 minute walk away.
