We loved this apartment! Very conveniently located close to the train station, with great restaurants and groceries nearby. Get your fruit from the little shop on the corner of via Tiburtina! If you’re lucky, the friendly Egyptian owner will have his baby with him!
The exit from the train station on via Marsala is a bit tricky to navigate, depending on which side of the street you choose to walk. We got detoured by the aqueduct wall! The most direct way is to stay on the road closest to the train station. Crossing via Marsala in anticipation of a left turn will take you into smaller streets — it’s not really much longer, and they’re pleasant and not as busy. All the streets are a bit rough, with potholes or rough cobbles, so large luggage might make for a tricky walk.
The only other thing I could have asked for were a tea towel or two for drying dishes. We were so happy to have the use of a kitchen, and great stores nearby.
We had one strange encounter with a neighbour when we came into the apartment one evening. He spoke to us in Italian, but when we didn’t understand him, he should his head darkly and said it was “very dangerous, this place”, pointing at our apartment door! We felt very comfortable and very safe, even walking in the neighbourhood at night, so I’m not sure what that was about.
