Together with my two kids (12 and 11 years) I spend 8 days at Cathies appartement on the second part of August. We were lucky with the weather as it was mostly just under 30°.
The appartement is great, you'll feel at home and it has all you need for a comfortable stay.
Cathie was on holliday during our stay but we communicated intensely before arriving and during our stay and even after we came back to home.
There was enough assistence from two lovely neighbours Carla and Bruno who also took care about transport from and to the airport.
The neighbourhood is nice, quiet place from where you can reach the metro in half an hour by bus and the beach in 15 minutes by bus or bycicle. Nearby the appartement you'll find enough shops or places where you can eat something.
We enjoyed walks in the city of Roma as well as a couple of days at the beach.
The last day we visited Ostia Antica which I surely recommend - you can get there easily by train (Metro).
Thanks to Cathie but also Carla and Bruno for making this a nice experience.
