We were picked up by a car at the airport that was aranged by Giuseppe it cost more than taking the train but saved a lot of time. Giuseppe met us and showed us the apartment, he had maps to help us get around the area. I would recommend getting a pass for the metro it was the best way to reach all the sites. The apartment was very well stocked as promised with a care package of food and drinks. There is a food mart just down the hill which was great. It is located in a great neighborhood and we felt very safe even walking back from the metro at night.
