Valentina's apartment is as advertised : clean and comfortable. We were well received and oriented to the apartment and neighborhood : an agreeable, active, airy residential neighborhood a bit outside the center of Rome. Buying food was easy, getting gelato or a drink in the evening was fun. I had a car so can't attest to using public transportation. But getting to central Rome took an easy fifteen minutes. Our stay at Valentina's apartment was a very good one and I recommend it highly to anybody wanting an excellent value.
