Emiliao & Maria's place was excellent for my family's stay. Il apartmento e bellissima. Each room is grand through it's elegant simplicity. We loved the feel of living like locals here -
The design of the apartment. Walking to the Testaccio Market ogni mattina
(have some Italian phrases down for purchasing items as its your typical
morning bussle. The pizzeria across the street is fantastic and economico.
One block over away is the coffee shop, Il Fornaio, we went always,
delicioso cappuccini e torte.
Underneath the apartment is a Jazz Club this video explains better than I, e.g. videre: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mT-fOr29OfA
. It is loud every night, so have earplugs...or go down to the club! You get on local time very fast here.
Using the bus system is so simple. The bus stop is 2-3 blocks away and you can get all over Roma on it. Just buy tickets at a convenience shop or newspaper outlet scattered along the way. When on wifi download the google maps to get which bus numbers you want to take for where you're going.
For drinking and discoteca, only 5-6 blocks away is like a semi-circle of drinking establishments (Coyote, Akab, etc.). Good Drink, Good Music, Good Dancing and Good Times along this strip.
Check-in was very flexible by our hosts. A bella ragazza checked us in and was most cheerful/helpful when explaining everything.
Un viaggio buonissimo.
