Patrizia's apartment makes a great home base when exploring Rome. About a ten minute walk to the bus stop that takes you to the metro into the city centre. Very spacious. We didn't meet Patrizia but we communicated lots via AirBnB and her mother welcomed us very warmly. The apartment was cold (no direct sunlight so it was warmer outside than in) and Patrizia told us heating doesn't come on until 15 November in Rome, but we found extra blankets. There was a fireplace but no wood and we didn't try to find some to buy. Brand new bathroom is lovely. Nice big patio with some chairs but crowded with other stuff - but we did book very last minute, and we weren't in Rome to sit on the patio! Some good restaurants in the neighbourhood, including Caccetore. Comfortable bed, kitchen equipped with everything you could need including some tea and biscuits from Patrizia which was a very nice touch. We always felt safe in the neighbourhood. We would stay at Patrizia's again, thank you!
