After having a bad start to our trip in Rome by being ripped off by our taxi driver from Termini Train station, we were happy with our stay in the apartment. Starting with the friendly waiters at the restaurants downstairs (let us use the restroom while we were waiting since we were early) to Mauro (Lorenzo was away on holiday) letting us in at the time we arranged. He left us a map of Rome which was nice, had a Lonely Planet Rome book available, some snacks in the kitchen, and showed us around the apartment. The location of the apartment was excellent, we did not use the subway once. We walked everywhere! The location is noisy as others had written, but to be expected staying in a big city. There was noise from the restaurants below and the trash/recycling trucks coming through around 6 am each day. The bed was very comfortable, plenty of hot water in the shower. Be careful of the big step to get into the shower (maybe a problem with kids or older people). We tried the Osteria della Vite downstairs. The waiters were friendly and fun, although a bit pushy to get us to eat there and for a tip, but the food was reasonably priced and pretty good. If you get a chance you should try Al Leoncino Pizzeria for the best thin crust wood fired pizza we found!! It is not a tourist spot, we ate with all locals. It is small, very crowded, but wait for the table, it will be well worth it! Two pizzas, a Liter of house wine, a dessert, and a tip for about 35 Euros! If you want a quick, cheap pasta meal, Pastificio is nearby (only two choices a day but delicious!) Yummy desserts at Pompi also nearby. We also went to a local deli and they made a sandwich for us, you choose bread, meat and cheese. It was about 7 Euros for two sandwiches. We really enjoyed this apartment and how close it was to so many great things!
