For our short trip to Rome, we arrived by train from Milan. Riccardo’s place was centrally located, only a 12 minute walk from the train station, 15 minute walk to the colosseum, 35 minute to Vatican City by way of the metro. We walked back with no trouble from the Vatican seeing sites along the way. The neighbor had a lot of choices for food, from quick cafe to sit down within a short walk, great gelato just across the street. We took two skip the line tours and both were well worth the time and expense. The crowds were very large, even in mid-Oct.
Riccardo took the time during our arrival to provide an overview of the apartment and of the city. He gave great tips and a list of places to eat. We enjoyed our stay, the apartment was very clean and comfortable for the three of us.
