The host was welcoming and explained everything that we needed to know about the apartment and surrounding area. The apartment is modern and well laid out. The building is in a safe and secure area. There is a supermarket close by and an ice-cream parlour at the street corner which we frequented each night of our stay. The apartment is off the tourist trail and approx. 15 mins walk to the nearest metro station. We chose to eat locally in the evenings, the food was superb and the waiter said he did not see many tourists in the area. A really pleasant apartment and location for a visit to Rome but be prepared to walk or take a taxi.
