Alice and her husband made me feel very welcome. My flight was delayed and I ended up arriving after 1am, but Alice received me with a smile. There was a good breakfast waiting for me every morning. The flat is up several flights of stairs, so bear that in mind if you are not fit and have heavy luggage; it was no problem for me. The location is a quiet suburb, with a decent pizzeria (Da Claudio) five minutes' walk away on Via delle Mimose. The area felt perfectly safe at night. There is also a ruined aqueduct in the same direction, to remind you you are in Rome. The quickest way into the centre is to take the nearby metro, then a bus for the last bit. Bus 105 goes direct from Termini (the stop right outside the front) but takes 30 minutes or so.
