I selected this apartment because it appeared close to Vatican City and more so, the METRO. I was right! The Vatican was a nice walk, but the CIPRO metro can also take you to all you wish to see in Rome. We became very familiar with the train system that took us to all the sites. Get off at the Colosseum and be amazed at the site as you exit the station. The little neighborhood was a very nice option rather then the more crowded touristy sections of Rome. We ate with the locals in restaurants less than a block away, and shopped at the grocery store just outside the apartment. I personally loved the little fruit shop that had local produce, I had a plum like I remember from my childhood. and the cafe across the street had fresh “Contorno”, a great favorite if you are less of a meat and pasta person. The apartment is up a small hill on the outside, once you enter the gated area, and you will walk steps up, I recall three flights. I liked the steps to walk off some “gelato calories”!!! There were two bedrooms so we had plenty of space for three and this apartment can easily host five people. I appreciated having two bathrooms too. The kitchenette was convenient but we preferred to eat our meals out. Our host allowed us to come early, I’m not sure if this option will be available to everyone, but it worked well for us. I would recommend this apartment if you want a quiet, authentic Italian neighborhood feel, with many tourist options from the CIPRO metro station ( have euro change and small bills to use the ticket machines... you don’t need to exchange money with a fee. Ask for the nearest ATM when you arrive in Rome). Enjoy!
