Livia's apartment was such a wonderful place for us. It was our first time in Rome and we found the location perfect. She also offered transportation for us from and to the airport. When we got there she sat with us and explained several ways we could travel around the city. She even had two bus passes for us. She had maps that showed us key spots and bus stations sand frankly helped us a lot that first day when we decided to venture out the door. We ended up walking everywhere from the apartment, but this is what always do. There is a small grocery store just down the block where we got milk and coffee. This after we ate and drank all the coffee and muffins she provided for us as a welcome gesture. She also has her own olive oil, which tastes delicious. We truly enjoyed sipping our coffee and having a light breakfast out in the garden terrace every morning. That was the main reason we chose this place. We wanted a place to be able to enjoy outside the apartment as well. My husband, the quintissential gardner, came back with all sorts of ideas of what to do at home. The apartment is in a quiet neighborhood. We enjoyed sleeping with he windows open and yes we heard the occasional car, but what really struck us where the birds chirping every morning. The bed was very comfortable and the apartment has very nice decor.
