Our host Marco has been absolutely accommodating and helpful throughout our stay. Hes quick to answer any questions and made us feel at ease knowing that hes super responsive. The apartment itself is adequately furnished and clean. It has a large balcony which is great. The area has restaurants within walking distance, tabbachi, gelato shop. The buffala allegra has really great food and big portions too! The staff is super friendly. We heard the gelato is good, closes late and saw that a lot of people patronise it. Unfortunately didn’t get to try it. The mall nearby is great too. It has a big supermarket and everything else from fast food chains to clothing stores.
For getting around; the tabacchi store sells the ticket for the bus. Might want to take note of the opening hours. The bustop is right outside the tabacci and marked by a red pole. 555 is the fastest and it gets you to ponte di nona station. During our stay, the station is fairly new and thus has no ticket machine. We just got on the train though. However the bus route is the fastest. 055 gets you to lunghezza station. This has a ticket machine for the train and the bus route is relatively short too. 075 gets you to ponte mammolo station. Weve not been there before so not too sure how’s the station or the bus route is like. It helps that we look at the metro map online beforehand. While the distance to the centre of Rome doesn’t take much time, you have to factor in waiting time. My suggestion is if you have time to spare, use the first day to get familiar with the transportation and use the second day onwards to book whatever attractions. Its quite simple once you get familiar. In any case, Marco will be there for you if you have any problems surely. Among the airbnbs we stayed, Marco is definitely among one of the best host we’ve had the chance of interacting with.
