Marina is a wonderful hostess. She accommodated our every need and answered all sorts of crazy questions from us Americans! Marina speaks English VERY well (from having lived in the US in years past)...and understood our needs. The flat has a lovely patio. The beds were comfortable...even the foldout that our 6'2" 22-yr.-old son slept on! We didn't cook, but the kitchen is small. The reality is that if you're trying to save a nickel by cooking in instead of eating out, then you have no business being here on vacation anyway! Ha! The A/C works great. There is a small flatscreen TV but we never even turned it on...too many sights to see to bother with sitting around watching TV. The flat is very close to the St. Peter's Basilica train and bus station. 3-4 minute walk max!Bus 64 is the route you use! 64 to Termini and then whatever bus or train you want to take anywhere! It is very close to the Vatican! VERY close. Safe neighbor. One of the only 24/7 grocery stores is a 5 min. walk away, but, again, we never used it! Ha! So, this flat is on one end of Rome...opposite the Coliseum. Having been here now, and having seen the lei of the land and the sights, I wouldn't hanger a thing. I'd stay here again! Thanks Marina!!!
