If you want a truly Rome experience Beatrice's home has to be it. The location is perfect, within easy distance of the main rail station and the Express train from the airport, the city centre buses, metro and trams. Rome's history is within easy walking distance and the area has a multitude of eateries. In fact some people I met from Frankfurt had travelled from their posh hotel by metro to eat in the area. I arrived via the airport express in the evening and easily found Beatrice's beautiful apartment. (Check your journey using Google street view and you can't miss it. Talk about Italian classic "Film Noir" the raised Italian voices across the court yard, the ride in the elevator to the fifth floor to a elegant comfortable apartment decorated with love and a passion for Rome. Beatrice and her friend Violetta made me very welcome and provided lots of information so that I could really experience the city in the few days I was there. I was so chilled out on my first night I slept with the balcony doors open (September) to consume the bustle of the street below. The Breakfast is traditional Italian with home made and local produce and certainly fit for a days touring. If all this sounds too much to be true that's ok at least you won't block my return visit - I will be back !
