The apartment is a large, airy space with 4 bedrooms simply furnished - beyond the city centre but close to amenities and public transport. Very typically Roman the apartment has a compact kitchen, several balconies overlooking the streets and shutters throughout.
For visitor considering this location...
- a good large clean space for our family (3 teens, 2 adults and a senior) with good amenities and basic kitchen facilities - fine for breakfast and lunch but cooking dinner for 6 would be a squeeze
- decent local amenities - a small supermarket and a cafe tabac across the road for coffee cornetti and bus tickets, a number of pizzerias and trattorias within an easy walk - La Forchetta was the best we found, unpretentious Roman family run restaurant
- getting to the apartment and away isn’t as easy as you’d like - the walk from the nearest train station is along a narrow overgrown pavement alongside a busy road - not suitable for young kids or elders or with luggage - get a taxi there and at the end of your stay....
- although close enough to the Vatican on the map its a long walk to the entrance to the Vatican museums or st Peters - get to know the buses and you’ll be fine - the bus journey into the city or the Vatican is about 30min door to door
- although the double beds are separable into twins there was no single bed linen in the apartment - we forgot to ask in advance......
- the noise of the busy road outside is largely blocked by the windows and shutters but there are always shrill motolinos passing through the night so if you’re very sensitive to traffic noise that might be a problem
- all in all a good solid apartment for a short city stay - as long as you’re happy to do the daily bus trips
