We enjoyed staying at Cristina's place. She made us feel welcomed. We specially appreciated her dropping us off to the airport so early in the morning. Flat was clean, well equipped, well furnished, well lit and ventilated.
Tips: Things to discover near the flat. We particularly enjoyed the pizza and other local delights from a bakery at the corner of Via Etruria and Via Britannia. And the gelato from Freddo which is located on the large intersection near by. Via Magnagrecia is a shopping haven. They have huge sale during Summer throughout Europe.
However, bus service in Rome is very unreliable. Often it did not turn up for hours. Rely on Metro instead, even it means some extra walking.
