Although Alesandro did not meet with us we were well taken care of by his partner wh0 went through all we needed to know in a friendly and professional manner.
There were note to tell us where the local amenities were - not that you really needed them. If you can't find 20 eating places within a 5 minute walk you are not looking. the ones at the end of the street are excellent. The supermarket is easy to find and has all you may want.
a 15 - 20 minute stroll to Terminii Station and a long 50 minute to Tiburtini. However the bus a few doors down takes you to Tiburtini for Euro1.50 per person.
Although the area does not look overly salubrious it seemed quite safe to us.
