Enrico's lovely appartment and his and Dora's hospitality exceeded all our expectations. It started with him waiting for us in pouring rain at the metro station in a Land Rover Defender - a car I had always wanted to have a ride in but never had. We enjoyed every minute spent in the appartment and in the neighbourhood. Bought our daily food in the morning at the market for peanuts - compared to what it would have cost in the centre of Rome -, met local people, had our morning coffees in the local café. The mornings and evenings we spent at the apartment were made more romantic by the lemon and orange tree in the cosy garden. What more can you want? A super kind, smiling and helpful host couple, a very clean, comfortable and independent appartment. As for getting to the town centre, your best bet is to walk to the metro in 8-10 minutes - longer, if you stop at the market or in a café -, and then travel 10 stops straight to Colosseo, where you are right in the midst of everything: the Forum, the Colosseum, the Imperial Forums, Palatinus and you name it. We did not mind that we stayed a bit out of the centre, as we got to know a zone and its people off the beaten tourist track, which was very much to our liking. Thank you, Dora and Enrico for all this :)
