We really enjoyed staying in Barbara's apartment. The location is perfect. The Ostiense train station and the Piramide metro station are right around the corner. You can get anywhere from the apartment. Easy half hour train ride from the airport. and an hour train commute to the cruise port in Civitavecchia. Testaccio is a safe, friendly section of Rome. Many cafes, restaurants and markets. A ten minute walk gets you to a really nice grocery store and Eataly is about a 20 minute walk. Barbara is a wonderful hostess. She answers e-mails within minutes and has many suggestions for restaurans and sightseeing. We were there for 3 weeks and she brought us a bottle of wine, pastries and a home made cake. Really helpful and very nice. The apartment has high ceilings, is bright and has an IKEA designed kitchen which was nice because we did a lot of cooking. You should be aware that the apartment is on a busy street. If you need a quiet environment for sleeping bring earplugs. I would definitely stay there again and highly recommend it to others. Oh, and the internet is excellent. We watched Netflix every night we were there.
