We are a Norwegian familiy travelling with three kids (11, 11 and 4). The description in the listing of the apartment is accurate and we liked it. We particulary liked the the terrasse. It is perfect for sharing a meal. We travelled to and from Roma with bus/Metro most days of our stay. We also once took the bus to the sea (recommended trip). Unless you travel very much the best option is a once-time ticket. These tickets are valid for 100 minutes from you validate them. You can however only enter the metro system once per ticket. The bus is nearby and you have several options going to one of the nearest metro-stations. Travel time with bus to the metro is approx 30 minutes. One then uses the metro to arrive at the desired area in Roma. For going back from Rome, we recommend that you travel to the metro station Acilia and from there take the bus no 8. There are other options, but these were more complicated in our experience. Marina, the owner of the house, is very kind and helpful.
