I highly recommend Marzia & Federicos' apartment, it is located in the very safe area of Prati, a short walk from the Vatican and the old city of Rome at Piazza Navona, the apartment was exceptionally comfortable, it was modern, clean and spacious for two, it had many conviences. We used the following on a daily basis: the dish washer, clothes washer, hob cooker, fridge & large fridge freezer, coffee maker, the very effective air conditioning, the two modern tvs (both with USB ports useful for external memory sticks), the very comfortable & easily assembled couch sofa bed, the iron & ironing board, the very fast WiFi, the modern and excellent bathroom. There was very good lighting throughout the apartment. Although on the second floor, and overlooking the street, the apartment was very quiet. There were a number of nearby supermarkets and a good, if up-market, shopping street at Cola di Rienzo. Rome in general felt very safe and the Prati district in particular feels safe. There was a doorman on the apartment building. Marzia was very professional, kind and easy to deal with, responding to all queries, she gave very helpful and thorough information on check in, thank you Marzia very much. There is a nearby metro station which we used often. The metro is by far the least expensive and most convenient mode of transport in Rome. We purchased CIS metro tickets as we were there for over a week. The metro's reach however is limited with only two lines. The 81 bus is nearby which we used when the metro wasn't a choice. Taxis in Rome are relatively inexpensive and I recommend using them rather than the bus, most especially when time is a constraint or when tired and want to get back to the apartment quickly. We used the SIT shuttle bus from the airport to the apartment but a taxi from the apartment to the airport. Excellent apartment, highly recommended.
