This apartment is located on one of the seven hills of Rome; the Aventine. Wonderful views from here! Leaving the apartment you will walk down hill, upon return prepare for the walk uphill. Not too challenging, but if you have mobility issues, take heed. If one wants a quiet place away from the throngs of people now flocking to Rome, this is it. You are close to Circus Maximus, Roman forum and Coliseum. For other areas, be willing to walk, taxi or take public transportation. The best part of this stay is really feeling as though one lives as the locals do, in a real neighborhood. It's quiet. The apartment has a fantastic kitchen and we visited the market in Testaccio buy ingredients to cook in a couple of evenings. Five - ten minute walk to closest cafe, grocery, metro stop and restaurants. Around the corner is the lovely Giardino degli Aranci, with beautiful views to Rome and Vatican. Kind and responsive hosts. Highly recommend.
