Nicolanna's place was immaculately presented and very spacious for our family of five. She was a great host-easy to communicate with, arranged a driver to pick us up and provided some good eating recommendations. The apartment is well equipped and furnished. It was fun heading down to the vegetable market that gets set up in the street below every day. The area isn't the liveliest part of town but there are some good dining spots- Hosteria Po was a favourite. We didn't use public transport but it's close to the bus stops that take you into the tourist part of down. Alternatively a 30-40 minute walk through the villa Borgese gets you to the Spanish Steps. Thanks again Nicolanna for making our stay in Rome so comfortable and also for the gift of the kids guide book...it will remind us all of our time there.
