Paola was very accommodating and helpful when we arrived. She helped us find street parking directly in front of the building which was perfectly safe and secure. The people at our rental car company in Venice tried to scared us about driving & parking in Rome. The apartment was conveniently located - there is a bus stop right outside the front door. Google Maps does a pretty good job of directing you on public transit (their bus arrival times however are rarely accurate). Don't hesitate to take the bus before purchasing a ticket. We made the 15 minute hike to the metro station to get our tickets only to eventually realize that hardly anyone seems to pay or checks tickets when riding the bus. The apartment was clean and comfortable. A perfect place to come back to after long days of walking around in the city heat.
