This apartment is a great budget option. All the sites of central Rome are a scenic walk from the apartment (if you are not in a hurry) or easily reached by Metro from Re di Roma station, which is 15 minutes walk away. Local sites include the Baths of Caracalla, the church of St Giovanni in Laterano, the Aurelian Wall and it is a very short distance from the start of the Appian way which leads to various catacombs on the outskirts of Rome.

The area in which the apartment is sited is very pleasant, with one or two nice bars, cafes and restaurants nearby. It is 5-10 minutes from a high street cluster of great butchers, greengrocers, bakeries, a Carrefour super market etc. if you want to self cater.

The apartment is well set up for self catering with pots, pans, oil herbs and spices etc all ready to use. Basics such as towels, bedding, cleaning products etc. were all supplied.

The building in which the apartment is sited on the third floor is smart and very pleasant place to return to after a long day of site seeing. The apartment is clean, comfy, spacious and homely with art on the walls and big windows overlooking a small piazza. The traffic on the main road can be quite noisy but this is a very small downside.

Checking in and out was smooth and Tiziana's father Vincenzo was helpful and friendly.

All in all we would definitely come back if returning to Rome and highly recommend it as a great value place to stay.
