What a fantastic place to stay, especially if you're traveling in Rome with children. There's a playground in the square right across the street, and the kids' bedroom could sleep as many as five people comfortably. The flat is wonderfully appointed (the owner is an architect) and we received a warm welcome with great information about the neighborhood.

Testaccio was described to me by a friend as "Rome's Park Slope," and this seemed apt to me: there were lots of kids running around, and the urban craziness of central Rome was somewhat less here. Again, highly recommended if you're traveling with kids.
