Patrizia's place served our need well for a place from which I was able to easily get to my conference at JCU and my husband and three grown sons were able to quickly get to the major historic sites in Rome. Patrizia's place is only a few minutes walk to the Roma Trastevere station - easy access to and from the FCO airport - and to the #8 tram. I took the #8, got off just before it crossed the Garibaldi bridge over the Tiber then walked a few blocks northwest to JCU. The #8 also goes right to Piazza Venezia from which many major attractions (Coliseum, Palatine Hill, Roman Forum, Trevi Fountain, Pantheon, Spanish Steps, etc.) are a only a few minutes walk away. One can also easily walk to the river and have a nice walk along the Tiber.

Patrizia was very warm and welcoming and did her best to make things comfortable for us. The place is very clean, has comfortable beds and linen and other amenities to make a family get-together of five adults enjoyable. The only crinkle in the experience was being close to the noise of a major intersection but we learned later that there was a convention of Harley bikers in town that week and thousands of them were in Rome, especially in and near the Trastevere area.

Just a note to future travelers: when you get off the Roma Trastevere station from the FCO airport, go down the stairs and up to exit the station. You will see a parking lot when you exit the station but turn right along the side of the station building to the end where there are steps going down into a main road that goes under the train tracks and across to where Patrizia's building is.
