Georgia met us at the apartment and kept in constant contact answering our questions and providing guidance. She couldn’t have been kinder. The apartment is spacious, well equipped and even air-conditioned. The bath is generous and new. During the day it is bright and sunny and filled with the sounds and vitality of its Roman neighborhood. Fun to watch from the balconies. At night, with the windows closed, it is quiet and restful.
I don’t remember any reviews talking about the Trionfale market. Giorgia’s place is just steps from one of the great food markets of the world. The beauty of the way produce, fish and meat were displayed, and the good cheer and helpfulness of the purveyors almost brought me to tears. (OK, so I’m a bit of a foodie) I found the market a vital part of Roman life and history the way the forum, coliseum, etc. are. And yes, you can walk to St. Peter’s in a leisurely 15 minutes or so, and the 492, 23 and 913 bus will take you to most of the major spots in Rome. Right across the street is a well-stocked little market, and around the corner an excellent fish restaurant. Bit tricky to find the Cipro Metro stop, Giorgia will help you. Buy tickets there at the tobacco shop good for both bus and metro.
