Suzy is an excellent host, and I can recommend her apartment in Aurelio.
After travel problems with delayed flight, she welcomed me greatly and settled me in.
I stayed four weeks (September 2022) in her apartment, which is clean and very comfortable.
She drove me to see the lights of Rome at night.
Rome itself is majestic, historic and beautiful - it repays careful exploration.
You can live cheaply, but public transport is not always reliable and taxis are best avoided.
