Barbara is a caring, warmhearted and enthusiastic woman. She contacted me one day before my arrival to tell me how to get to her apartment and explained me everything. Her home is very pleasant and styled with her personal touch. I stayed in room with double bed and a separate bathroom, which is very nice decorated. There is also a second room, for 2-3 people with shared bathroom. I could also use the well equipped kitchen. In the evening, it was possible to sit outside in the patio. The house is well situated, to get to the city center you have to either walk 10 minutes to the metro station Arco di Travertino or take the bus 663. With the metro A you need around 20 minutes. I recommend the bus 663 especially in the evening, as it stops at Torre di Fiscale, just 50 meters away from the house. Be carefull, because the bus stops for both directions are on the same side of the street. If you want to visit the Coloseum I recommend the Rome Museum Pass for 3 days for 36 EUR, with it I had to wait just 10 minutes to get in, public transport is also included. When visiting Vatican, there are 2 entrances, one for the church, which is for free and one for the Vatican museums - for the museums I recommend to buy the ticket online, within 10 minutes I have received the ticked with code so no printing was needed. Be careful around Vatican, there might people stop you and try to sell you tickets, not all of them are official employees of Vatican. One tip for cheap pasta: Via dei Coronari 160. All in all, the trip in Rome was very pleasant and thanks to Barbara and her daughter I could get to know the italian life and culture a bit better ;)
