Andrea and Fiamma are wonderful, friendly hosts! They went out of their way to help us and even invited us to share a meal with them when we arrived, which was very special for us. For us, the location was great for a few reasons:
The apartment was very close to the main train station of Trastevere which goes directly to Fiumicino airport and it was also very close to the Tiber River. Be aware, however, that it is a good 30 min walk to Trastevere and the historic centre but it is a beautiful walk along the river to get there. Also, the nearby No. 8 tram takes you to Piazza Venezia in front of the Vittorio Emmanuele monument, from where you can walk easily to the colosseum. Tram No 8 also stops near the Isola Tiberina and near the Corso (?) ... in the centre ... ask Andrea! Recommended! Also, Cafe Baffo near the station is wonderful!
