Ylenia's place was the perfect retreat away from the hustle and bustle of downtown Rome. In walking distance to just about everything, the cute, clean, inexpensive studio with great rooftop terrace views served our needs very well. There was also an excellent supermarket right next door, though you wouldn't know it unless you go explore because the entrance is in the back of the market through a parking garage. And don't forget to explore the Trastevere neighborhood you're on the edge of, it's a refreshing break from the hustle and bustle of Rome. Get to know your (separate) tram, bus, train, and metro systems if you want to make your life much simpler. Forget trying to call a taxi, none of the cab companies could understand me nor could I them. Ylenia's husband was a life saver in helping us call a taxi to get us and our bags to the airport.
