This apartment is in a quiet location and a quite block which we felt was not at all touristy. It is almost off the Piazza Testaccio where families and neighbours hang out in the evening. There are plenty of local restaurants in all the streets around, convenience stores and the local market is at the end of the street. We ate breakfast at Giafornaio on Via Marmorata and definitely recommend this for an amazingly cheap non-touristy venue. There is a great Chinese on Via Marmorata also. You can walk to Trastavere and the Colisseum etc in half an hour. Take an evening stroll on the Aventine Hill to look out over the city but be prepared for this to be just as busy as the Capitoline Hill. There are two separate bedrooms with very comfortable beds and plenty of hangers and other clothes storage space. The bathroom isn't very private but we didn't run out of loo paper or kitchen gear so for a change we didn't have to stock up on essentials. A real home from home. I would definitely stay here again if I were going back to Rome.
