What a very lovely apartment!! All the amenities needed for a comfortable stay in Rome in a quiet family neighborhood. This was my fourth stay in Rome over the past 6 years and the Aventino area is now by far my favorite; ease of movement all over the city, proximity to many sites, close to Testaccio market, Trastevere, the Forum, Colosseum, (favorite family spot near the Colosseum, Hostaria I Clementini not the tourist junk food!!! Adriana was so gracious), the Baths of Caracalla, Circus Maximus, Palentino Hill, Celio Hill and Piazza Venenzia. If open, don't miss the Rome Rose Garden!!
Many wonderful Bars for Cafe, Breakfast and Apretivo. Many wonderful family owned and operated Restaurants in the area within walking distance or a short Metro/Bus ride.
I recommend a ATAC 3 or 7 day pass. The 7 day is only 24 euros and is good on all public transportation except to and from the airport; the Lido line to Ostia Antica and the Beaches is included, it was a great outing to the coast on this trip.
The local Roman food, in all its glory, is very affordable here and in Testaccio/Trastevre. I highly recommend for seafood, Osteria Der Belli Piras Valentino; for steak, Bull Steak, which was a fun walk from the lodging; and my favorite in all of Rome, Ristorante La Tavernaccia Da Bruno, you'll be treated as family and the food is unsurpassed and still affordable. (Anna is the best server in Rome)
Stay away from Flavio al Velavevodetto, bad experiences on every aspect of dining including being treated like an outcast and in Rome, that's unheard of.
This time of year in Rome the sun is extremely intense even at lower temps, so wear sunscreen, utilize shade and eat gelato; Torce' Gelato on Viale Aventino is my favorite and is quick walk from home.
