Maria picked me up at the train station in Ottavia, metropolitan area of Rome, waiting for me at the platform. That was very nice of her. We talked about our backgrounds right way. Maria’s place is very spacious and clean - the living room has a French window, the dining and the kitchen in the same area that is separate from the bedroom. The bed is comfortable. Maria provided juices, coffee (tea among others) and mik, pastry for breakfast with butter and jam. Maria did laundry for me as well, 5 euro for 1-7 kg. Supermarket is 5-minute walk from her home. I cooked 2 out of 3 days I stayed there. She is a good communicator. Upon arrival, she got necessary information to me in an efficient way. On transport, it takes me 10 minutes to get from her home to Ottavia train staiton and train taks 20 minutes from Ottavia to San Pietro, 10-minute walk to St. Peter’s Square. These train tickets I bought from both tobacco stores and www.trenitalian.co.it, even 1 euro. The ticket sold at tobacco shops is 1.50euro which can be used with train and bus within 90 minutes). I took these regional trains (Ferrovia Regionale) everywhere, there are 6 FR lines connecting with 2 metro lines in downtown Rome. And when I left Rome, she drove me back to station super early in the morning – that was super nice.
