Location was every thing! To explore the city, we did not use public transportation nor did we drive. We were able to find a parking spot near the apartment and took off walking.
As you walk out the front doors, you are facing a slew of things unique to the city of Rome. There is a night life (lights illuminating the different structures) that catered to walking around into the early morning hours. The weekend night was much busier than the week night when we walked around.
During the day, we enjoyed walking to the Vatican (about a 50 min walk). There were other landmarks we saw along the way. So much to explore, so little time.
Upon arriving, Giorgia was very helpful and especially patient when we were looking for parking. David greeted us and readily made a quick cup of coffee for my husband as he showed us around the home. He also pointed us in the direction of groceries and restaurants. We chose to go to the Carrefour Express near the Colosseum and cook at home.
Grateful for the simple memories.
