Andrea met us at the apartment to let us in immediately in our arrival. His place is about a 10 minute walk from the Tiburtina train, bus and metro station. We used the metro and buses each day to go into town. You can buy a 100 minute ticket for 1.5 Euro and can use it on both buses and metros for 100 minutes after the first time you board a bus or metro. We were at his place for nine days and could use the public transit to easily get everywhere (using Google as our guide). We spent one day going to Tivoli by train which we really enjoyed there is an estate there with a great garden plus a huge park with multiple natural waterfalls. It was a good break from the Rome. We enjoyed eating dinner on the large outside patio. Andrea was a great host and even printed our cruise paper work for us and brought it to us later that same day. We would definitely stay at his place again.
