We enjoyed our stay at Carmine's apartment. Although not in the centre of Rome it is easy to get to on the metro which is a 2 minute walk, close to restaurants and a Coop. Also the busses are easy to use if you have a smart phone. The road is quiet and the building backs onto a park. The flat is comfortable and everything was fine. The air conditioning was very useful in the living room but it was quite hot in the bedroom even with the fan. We never mastered the TV but probably didn't try very hard. As there was no electric kettle we hotted up water on the gas hob which we found quite tricky to light (the automatic switch was not working) and we eventually devised a rather 'Heath Robinson' method involving a night light and tongs. We didn't use the oven as we ate out apart from breakfast. Our flight was delayed 2 hours and we arrived later than planned but communication for check-in was great.
