We travelled to Rome with 3 older children and Daniele's apartment was an excellent base for us. It was spotless on arrival with crisp white bed-linen and lots of white fluffy towels. The apartment was big enough to give us all our own space and very quiet outside. We were met by Sara who was very friendly and helpful, and there was an information booklet about the house and area.

Getting into the city centre took about 30 minutes and is very simple from Daniele's place. Right across the road is the terminus for the 764 bus, which brings you to Laurentina metro, also the terminus. 15 minutes on the metro brought us directly to the Colosseum. There is a basic supermarket across the road (closed on Sunday and public holidays. However, there are two more on the bus route to Laurentina, which are better and open on Sunday.

Tip: If travelling to Hydromania, the only water park in Rome, take the metro to Cornella and then the 906 bus which stops outside the park (we were sent all around the city on buses by the tourist office).

I would highly recommend Daniele's apartment for a trip to Rome.
