If you want to spent your time in Rome away from the masses and still feel the real roman lifestyle, Ericas places is highly recommended. Situated just a 10 minutes walk from Villa Borghese and it's surrounding park you will find yourself in a very nice roman neighborhood with the Galleria Nationale as well as the MACRO fairly close by. Erica is a very helpful and considered host and the apartment as well as the room are spacious and quiet. My personal highlight: the turtle family living in a beautiful small fountain on the houses property.
