Come see Rome on a budget!
Monika was a great host. She responded quickly to every question we had and provided insightful information about how to get to and around Rome.
Let me say a few things about the location. When I first booked, I was a bit concerned that it would take me a bit to actually ‘get’ into Rome. That worry was put to rest on the first day...you walk out of the apartment and down a private street about 100 meters in total, before a 10 meter walk on the Main Street to the bus stop. You hop on the bus and go all of 5 stops arriving at the train station. The train and bus schedules are timed accordingly, so after only a few minutes (enough time to get a ticket) the Train arrives and takes you right into Rome. The entire trip does take an hour, but it only costs 1€ ! We took the train in on the first day and walked right down to the Vatican, maybe 500 meters from the train stop. The second day, we again took the train, went a few more stops down, before hopping on the metro and arrived at the base of the coliseum!
The town is quaint, has a few really nice restaurants that Monika recommended and the entire stay made our Rome adventure absolutely perfect!
The apartment had everything we needed and we can’t wait to head back and enjoy another few days at Monika’s.
We loved our stay, we loved Rome and we’ll definitely go back and stay at Monika’s again!
