Orietta met my boyfriend and me right as we checked in (and had the place ready one day earlier than planned on short notice) with great advice about the metro system and all of the best maps and guidebooks. We really took advantage of all of the resources she kept in the studio. Orietta's studio quickly became a true home for us. The studio is situated in a building that really has a community feel - it is small, pristine, lush with flowers and people are always around to say hello! At the bottom of the hill, lies a great Tavola Calda for quick bites or a cold drink. At the top of the hill, there is a very casual, outdoor, "make-shift" bar-park, where you can enjoy a drink, amazing music and a view of the Basilica. If you like to cook, there is a supermarket, macelleria, fruit stand and cheeseshop all within walking distance. I recommend this place to all you air-bnb'ers. And, the 982 bus is your best friend.
