Our adventuresome family of four really enjoyed our stay in Rome. It was our first stop on a longer tour of Italy, and we knew we wanted to be able to retreat from the busyness of the more touristy areas of the city. Andrea was a very kind host, and his apartment was exactly as it was described. Because it is further from the city center, we likely never would have explored the neighborhood it is in, and we very much enjoyed morning visits to Bar Dany on the corner. Eataly is a short walk from the apartment, as are two Metro stops (Garbatella and Pyramide), and the Ostiense train station (especially convenient if you are flying into Fiumicino). The very best part of this apartment? Being so close to Gelateria La Romana. It has the very best gelato in the world, and it is the most beautiful shop, too.
