David’s apartment is a great place to stay. It’s about a 15-20 minute bus ride into the centre but there are several buses that run just past the building and these take you into all the main sightseeing areas. The area around the apartment offers a refreshing change of pace and style from the centre. It’s about local people going about their business e.g. shopping in the market across the road or going out to the local restaurant (Romulo e Remo is great by the way, and ludicrously good value) and, after a few days, you get to have some idea of what it might be like to live there, a sensation you can never get from a city centre. Wish I was still there!
