Our flight to Rome began with a 3 hour delay in Boston, which lead to a complete change of plans. We would arrive nearly 10 hours later. Our host was able to make accommodations and greeted us warmly.
The house is near Termini and there is a metro just outside the front door, which unfortunately was closed during our stay. My children play the piano and were delighted they were able to practice while we were there. The home is clean, comfortable and surprisingly quiet for Rome. In fact, the beds were extremely comfortable. The windows close shut with shutters and indoor locking covers as to keep out sound and light. The washing machine is a little tricky to open, but there is laundry soap under the sink. And how nice to be able to wash clothes after walking in Rome’s heat all day! Kitchen is stocked.
Walking toward the church, there are several bakeries, gelato and an ok grocery store. We were visiting during a holiday which may have affected their deliveries, because it seemed slim. We much preferred the Conad, also walking distance from the home. We also enjoyed Ristorante di Lampadario, as we were worn out and the owner couldn’t have been more warm.
