I loved staying in this apartment - it is really charming and has absolutely everything you need and more, it is better than in the photos. There is a really nice view of the trees in the street and of the park, which is very pleasant, and the apartment has tasteful furniture and decoration, and is very well equipped. The building is very well-maintained. Carola and her family are very welcoming and friendly and were available for any questions etc. I really felt at ‘home’ for the week. The area has plenty of supermarkets and shops and there are also quite a few restaurants nearby, with the immediate vicinity of the apartment being a very residential and smart area. The park opposite has a historic mansion in the middle of it and a restaurant where you can sit outside. At the end of the street (on via Nomentana) you can catch the number 62 bus which takes you to the historical center and the Vatican quite quickly. You can also walk, it is really not so far to the historical/ancient centre of Rome and you pass a famous ice-cream shop on the way! The metro station Policlinico is about 5 minutes’ walk away from the apartment being two stops from Termini station and four from the Colosseum on the B line. It is true that the area is not the liveliest but it was a great area to stay in as there are not many tourists, but it is close to the centre, and it really was a fantastic apartment. I'll be back!
