Arriving at the apartment was a little disappointing as the photo of the garden courtyard was misleading, but the apartment was nice and similar to the photographs and description. It has all you need, but you will have to buy basic provisions, washing-up liquid, tea towels etc if you plan to eat there, The local shops in Testaccio are fantastic, worth walking around there before you do anything else. The local market is brilliant and there are some great restaurants. The Deli on Via Marmorata is amazing but very expensive, rather go to the supermarket near the church.
Rome can be exhausting, as there is so much to see, and it was lovely to get away from the crowds and go back to the apartment and the quiet area of Testaccio. Really felt like we were one of the locals!.
Very easy to get everywhere, on foot or by Metro and very safe.
A lovely place to stay for a taste of Italy away from the tourists.
