We arrived in Roma Termini train station we were able to walk (15 mins downhill) to the apartment where Allessandro (Jane's friend) came to meet us exactly when he said he would and checked us in, gave us lots of info on a local map of things to do, places to visit and also a list of recommended restaurants (with price range and location included - which we found very useful - in particular we enjoyed visited La Montecarlo which had a really local feel to it and a great atmosphere, as well as being unbelievably cheap but still delicious food).

The apartment was good with two fans that made the heat just about bearable, the living room was spacious and comfortable with a big dining room table. The kitchen was functional and the whole place suited the needs of two people just fine.
Location wise it was ideal - as said previously only a short walk to the station, also only a 10 min walk to the Colloseum, a 15 min walk to Trevi Fountain and the Pantheon and we even managed to walk to the Vatican and Saint Peter's (though this was a bit further but doable if you are keen walkers!)

We also explored the Travestere area across the river and found some awesome local restaurants and a food and drink festival along the river.

All in all a lovely stay. Highly recommended.
