We decided to take our 81 year old father on a trip of a lifetime. Our touring party also comprised of three couples, all aged over 50. The Testaccio apartment ideally suited our needs and was just as represented in Airbnb. With pre-arranged pick-up from the airport, our transit was painless and we were met on arrival at the apartment where we were supplied extra contact details for Emiliano and Maria.
Our stay lasted 2 weeks and the great selection of restaurants, cafes and shops nearby added to the success of our trip.
With public transport handy, we quickly adapted to the Bus and Metro system and travelled around Rome like locals. We did day trips to Pompeii, Florence, Venice and Bologna interlinked with the attractions in and around Rome. All on public transport.
Our hosts arranged transport on our behalf back to the airport when our stay ended, which much appreciated.
On the negative side. The showers were cold when we arrived but that was quickly rectified and at times we noticed the noise from the bar down stairs. None of this detracted from our stay.
My best recommendation...... we would love to come back some day.
