Excellent clean, comfortable apartment exactly how it is represented in the description and photos. Andrea was great from arrival to departure.
Easy, fun and inexpensive travelling into the historic centre by metro or bus. And being just outside the wall, after a couple of bus trips passing through the wall you get a great perspective on what Rome was 2,000 years ago and is today. Very easy (and cheap) train to and from Fiumicino Airport to Ostiense (don't catch the double-priced train to Termini).
The local area is the star though. Garbatella/Ostiense is a great place to be. Everything is local. Everybody is friendly so you'll be fine without Italian and a smile and a bit of pointing, but if you want to use a bit of the Italian you're learning, the locals will definitely speak back to you in Italian.
Bar Dany right under the apartment (Monday to Friday) is great place for a coffee and cornetto to kick off the day, and tavola calda type lunch. Good big Coop supermarket 50 metres away. Then lots of cafes, bars, restaurants, pasticcerias, fruit and vege, pizzerias, market stalls and interesting architecture in easy walking distance. All at local and not tourist prices. At a relatively high end for the neighbourhood, Ristoro degli Angeli is an excellent Roman restaurant. If you want great Roman tripe, walk up the hill to Antichi Sapori.
Highly recommended.
