As everyone else has mentioned, Fiorella is a fantastic host. She was in communication with us daily, and was really helpful in telling us where to find restaurants, ATM's, which buses to take etc, and also informed us of transit disruptions, which we would otherwise not have known. When we left, she called a taxi, and waited with us until it came. The apartment is cute and functional. The best part is the lovely patio surrounded by the scent of Jasmine and various herbs and flowers. The apartment is located in a residential area, and to get to the sights of Rome, you must take the extremely overcrowded trams and buses, or expensive taxis. Once Metro line 3 is running, this problem will be alleviated greatly. Earplugs are a must, as it can get quite noisy. When we were there, the neighbors entertained frequently, and well into the night. There are cars and pedestrians on the street often, and the church bells start early. It was nice to have the ability to make breakfasts and some other meals, which is good for the budget. There are a number of restaurants within walking distance, as well as supermarkets, pharmacies and pretty much anything you need.
