Maria-Theresa's wonderful apartment is located near the top of Monte Mario which is the highest point in Rome. From this vantage point above the city one easily gets to the heart of Rome on the number 913 bus, or by train (and then metro) from the Balduina station, down the hill a bit. The neighborhood is residential and quiet. Stores are a short walk down to the 'town' of Balduina. The apartment is huge and fully (repeat - fully) furnished, with just about anything one could want or need for a short or long stay (kitchen appliances, huge closet spaces, utility room, etc). We were impressed by some of the comfortable (Italian? Roman?) design features of the apartment. A fresh breeze was always flowing thru but air conditioning is available if needed. Building security is good, including a friendly doorman on site. Maria-Theresa met us when we arrived at the apartment. We were given a large map of Rome and she offered to take us around to show us where things were located. The day before we left she came over to say goodbye and arranged a taxi for our early drive the following morning to the airport. We stayed for the month of September and enjoyed every minute of our sojourn in this apartment high above (but still in) Rome!
