My host arranged for a friend to bring me from Fiumicino to the apartment for 45 Euro (less than the regular set cab fare). When I arrived at the apartment a cousin of the host met me and showed me over the unit. I forgot to ask about heaters, toasters, irons and fresh sheets but found all them in due course. 15 minutes from St Peter's was excellent as I had a convention on the other side of the Piazza. I walked to and from often. Ottaviano Metro is very close and I quickly became adept travelling around the city using a 7 day ticket. A supermarket called Simply was great for supplies as was the name of a trattoria when I dined out. The apartment is well-appointed, clean and easy to maintain. WiFi worked well so I managed to attend to work and social contacts very easily. My host promptly responded to any questions I sent to her and was very helpful. I had her mobile number as well but had no occasion to use it. I was very impressed with the apartment and would recommend it most highly to anyone thinking of staying in Rome.
