Mariella is very kind and understanding. Even if I did not speak a word of Italian, she was patient enough to try communicating(using google translate or her understanding of my french) till we got the point across. As we entered the apartment, there was a nice orange pie waiting for us in the kitchen ! The apartment itself is spacious with 2 private terraces and 2 bathrooms as well. Wifi is strong and fast. The apartment is about 1.5 km from a Metro but then Rome has just 2 metro lines. But bus connectivity is good, at least one bus per 10-15 min to one metro station or another. There is ample parking space and even a reserved parking in case you are driving there. The place is near to a supermarket (carrefour)which is open for 24 hours. Getting to the centre of Rome is like a 35 minute commute 10 min in bus + 15 in a metro plus some time for a changeover.
