This was a wonderful place from which to explore the popular tourist sites of Rome, and also to live like a local! Mariangela and Enzo were so friendly and helpful!! I was really overwhelmed and delighted by their wonderful hospitality! I loved the basket of fresh fruit, coffee and simple breakfast items that they made available. They also had wonderful suggestions for neighborhood restaurants--one coffeeshop in particular was inexpensive, casual, and felt very much in line with the neighborhood. We didn't cook much, but you are literally steps to a big grocery store. Walking distance to University Roma Tre, Ostiense neighborhood, and lovely shopping, restaurants, etc.--and then an easy cabride or longish (2.5 mile) walk to the Colisseum and the Roman Forum, and onward from there. Mariangela and Enzo had so many wonderful suggestions for our stay--we wish we could have taken advantage of all of them!! I hope to return, so I reluctantly encourage you to rent this lovely apartment, because I want it to be available for me, lol!!!
