The host Barbara and her daughter were both very responsive to messages and gave us information on places nearby to eat and visit. Barbara's daughter met us at the apartment and showed us around. They were both very helpful and always available if we needed anything. We had a lovely time in Rome and really enjoyed a meal in the restaurant next door to the apartments (Fiaschetteria Marini) - great Italian food and good price. We also ate at Ristorante Fuocolento just around the corner (Via Flavia) which was a little more expensive, but really good food. The apartment is not in central location, but it was really nice to leave the hectic city and stay in the quieter suburbs and enjoy the more local way. We walked to all the attractions in Rome including the Vatican which was the furthest away being approx a 45-50 min walk. We had an afternoon tour so we just took a nice casual walk over a few hours seeing other parts of the city on our way. The other attractions like the colosseum and trevi fountain etc. were about 30 min walks. There were buses from (Via XX Settembre) which was only 5min walk away. Would love to stay at Barbara's again if I get to visit Rome in the future.
