We stayed for 8 nights at Stefano's house and enjoyed it very much. Stefano was super friendly and helpful. He arranged transfer from the airport for us on arrival and everything in the house was perfect. He greeted us with a lovely welcome basket including biscuits and wine, plus there was coffee and pastries which were a lifesaver for our first morning when the local market does not open until 8am. The house was just as described, or even better. Our family of 5 was very comfortable. The little balcony was great for breakfast. The apartment gets the nicest breeze and was lovely and cool. There are lots of history books and tourist information (both English and Italian) on the bookshelf which was nice. The location was perfect. We spent the first half of the holiday traipsing to the tram/metro at Pyramide each morning, but then discovered the bus actually stops right at Marmorata. The train to Ostia Antica is also very close. Catch tram 3 for a really nice ride around the city. The bakery around the corner (towards Pyramide) is great. The local fruit shops had the best fruit (I thought the fruit in Australia was pretty good, but the fresh fruit we got here was amazing). Find the restaurant Volpetti Piu a block towards Marmorata - we had takeaway from there 4 of our nights, great food and friendly staff. The local piazza is lovely for the kids and nice to sit of an evening. There's a small Punto corner market at the piazza, but a block further away and left is a much larger supermarket. The kids playground a block towards the river is good, but busy! The Gelato bar on that corner was nice. Just past the park and past the big church is a cool sandwich shop called Trapizzino (google it). Everything about our stay was great. Stefano was a perfect host and his home was wonderful. Thanks, Stefano!
