The apartment is simple and functional - a reasonable sized, light-filled room and a properly equipped bathroom that works as it should. It's a locked-off section of Marzia's own 8th floor apartment, with its own entrance, and a wonderfully old fashioned (but perfectly functional) lift opposite. It's within a few hundred metres of St Peters basilica, and only ten minutes brisk walk from the more interesting old city side of the Tiber. The apartment is close to the route of the 64 bus, which runs from Termini Station, and to San Pietro Station, from where the train to the main airport takes about 40 minutes (with one easy change on the way). Marzia is charming and helpful, but anyone who likes early nights should be aware that she has high-spirited young children who don't seem to go to bed much before ten.
