Albertas place is great if you have a few days and don't mind travelling to get into the centre. Its also great to help keep costs down, we had breakfast at home and made packed lunches. Transport links are great. We took the bus from right outside the apartment. This took us to termini and there we caught the metro to wherever we wanted to go. It's very cheap (€7.50) for a day's worth of unlimited bus and metro trips. Alberta picked us up from the station which was most appreciated after a long journey. The area had numerous supermarkets and pharmacies etc, but we mainly chose to eat nearer the centre. The apartment was great for two girls sharing however the area is probably quite typical of Suburb of Rome in that we wouldn't have felt safe going out on our own during the evenings.
