Review Rome
When we booked this space there was only one review. Therefore now an extensive review with findings (and tips). From the balcony you can see the st Pieter that we did right at the entrance and every day when we get up. Everything was new and furnished for rental. Spaciously laid out with good materials.
Asked in advance to the landlord (reviews gave no clarity) whether it was peaceful sleep (no noise from cars for example). According to the landlord, it was a quiet street at night. And indeed, sometimes a car drives at night, but not much. With the exterior blinds you make it completely dark and you also muffle sounds from the street. It was somewhat noisy to the neighbors which was awkward for us as bad sleepers (snoring from neibor).
With the train to Roma st Pieter station, from there a 7 minute walk. The landlord would be waiting for us, but the bell did not respond. After a while a man came by and advised us to make a phone call, after which Antonio and his wife arrived within 10 minutes. He has taken ample time to explain things to us and give tips on what to visit. The landlord has several apartments and can be reached by telephone. We have not seen him anymore (not needed either).
The apartment is in a residential area. Many shops around the corner including a 24/7 supermarket and a good restaurant. It is a 15-minute walk to St Pieter's busy road. Bus 64 is closest. From Roma st Pieter train station you can take the train for € 1 to Roma Ostiense station, a nice place to go into the old city. We really enjoyed the Uberfiets. Note: People also put the bicycles inside. If you zoom in properly you can see whether a bicycle is inside or on the street.
We had hoped to recover from the busy city in the nearby park, but that is not an option. A number of roads on Google Maps are closed and a large part of the park is private (with dogs). It is more than 15 minutes by bike along mostly busy roads to get to the accessible part.
All in all it was a wonderful base for our 6 days in Rome!
