LOCATION !!! directly across street from affordable 4.4 star pizzeria... directly on tram route #19 that goes to Risorgimento/S. Pietro stop which is 5-min walk to St Peter's Square... 5-min walk to grocery store (Carrefour Express) & several other restaurants (Lima chicken, Istanbul kebab, etc) ... 7-min walk to Red metro (Flaminio, 4 stops north/west of Roma Termini towards Battistini) & Piazza del Popolo... 10-min walk to Villa Borghese gardens (200 acres of gardens, attractions & museums)... 20-min walk to Spanish Steps...
HOST was very HELPFUL !!! provided tips on best ways to see city... we speak zero italian and she booked a 6 am taxi for us one day
Our weeks included some (we've been told) unusually hot days for June... A/C was more than adequate, but since studio's secured windows face north, we mostly enjoyed fresh air.
PARKING included !!! if you're renting a car for out-of-town excursions (i.e. a car is NOT worth expense if staying/visiting within Rome), don't allow rental company to give you "FREE" upsize; studio's laneway is better suited to smaller compact cars (which, coincidentally, are the ONLY sensible cars for inner-city driving)
LOCATION (part ii)... if flying into Fiumicino Airport (FCO), 32-min on the Leonardo Express will get you to Roma Termini... if you only have carry-on bag and you're frugal, you could take Metro (includes some escalators & stairs) plus 7-min walk straight up Flaminia... however, if you have large luggage, then take a taxi (approx. €15) to studio
WiFi - wife and i both caught colds before arriving in Rome and spent first 5 days mostly stuck in studio... internet connection was more than sufficiently stable to stream Netflix & YouTube
Washer/Dryer - you can go on-line to manufacturer's website for washer's operating manual to define preset wash cycles... there is a dryer, but there is also a simple drying rack that was sufficient to our needs
Advice - buy a METRO transit pass for the duration of your stay... Rome has somewhat limited subways, but compensates with an extensive network of trams and buses... google directions include bus/tram/metro departure times
VODAFONE - absolutely BEST €30 data/phone plan... sim can be bought at Vodafone store at Roma Termini (or may be available at airport near baggage carousels)... you simply need your own unlocked phone
