The apartment is very basic, but for the price and location a good value and certainly a good base for a trip to Rome. A pleasant neighborhood and quiet at night.
The Vatican museum was about a 45 minute walk along the river, while most other sites were within a 30-45 minute walk depending on which route you take. From the airport, a taxi took 45 minutes and cost around 60 euros. To the Termini station, a taxi ride was about 15 minutes and 10 euros.
Many good restaurants and cafes close by, as well as small markets to grab water, coffee, etc. Lauro was very responsive to any inquiries or questions and made sure we understood all the features of the apartment before he left. Overall, we enjoyed our stay. Thank you, Lauro!
