Brilliant few days at Floriana's place. As it happened, she was out of town, so her assistant, Daniela met us when we arrived. She and her husband were delightful, showing us the place and giving us a couple of excellent tips about local restaurants. Floriana, herself, kept in contact electronically to make sure all was good, and to see if she could help in any way.
As all the reviews say, Testaccio is a little piece of contemporary Roman life--quiet but close to the centre of things. We loved sitting in the square just about opposite the apartment, watching kids play, and friends talk. It was easy to feel part of the neighbourhood. Loved the little café there.
The apartment, too, felt like a real part of Roman life--very comfortable, quiet, everything you could need. There's no question that when we come back to Rome, we'll try to stay here.
