Anna is WONDERFUL! she was so nice and gave us all sort of directions and suggestions on places to go. Her apartment is absolutely georgous!! exactly like the pictures except better ") The street she lived on was a little difficult to find but bring the map with you and you will be fine. The neighborhood is old, like most places in rome ") and sooo what you are hoping for when spending vacation in Rome. There is a nearby cafe that is peaceful and inexpensive. IE Cappuccino for 1.10 euro. Bottle of wine 2.80 euro. Perfect place to stay. It is a little outside of Rome center but there is a ton of nearby transportation that will take you to the Roma Termini (city center) and every bus you will ever need is there.
