Armanda was there to greet us. Incidentally, she was happy to meet us before the published arrival time. Armanda is a delightful host and could not have been more helpful. She had prepared lists of recommended local restaurants as well as maps for walking to the Forum, the Colosseum, Piazza Navona. The Forum is only 10 minutes walk. It is a fair walk to the Vatican but an easy bus ride (route 23 or 280 from memory). Travestere is an interesting area with quaint streets, good bars and restaurants. There is a small grocery with its own bakery a few yards from the apartment. The apartment itself is newly modernised but in an old building. No neighbour noises. It is very well kitted out and is comfortable. It is safe and secure. We were very comfortable and had all the things that we needed. Wonderful to be able to walk to so many of Rome's attractions.
