We enjoyed our stay at Marina's house very much. Simonetta met us and showed us round, answering any questions we had, and ensuring we settled in quickly. Access to the local pool was the absolute best thing about our stay. It's a short 5 minute walk away, and caps are provided at the house to ensure you meet the pool guidelines. There are good shopping centres within easy walking distance, and good take away and restaurants too. The bus stop isn't far away, and it took us about an hour to get to the Colosseum via bus and train - a straightforward and low-cost option as the tickets are valid for 100 minutes. Our trip to the beach was less successful and I wouldn't recommend that. Much nicer to either explore Rome or spend time at the pool. Note that the pool is closed on Mondays. The house was clean and spacious, with everything provided that we could have wanted, especially good coffee and coffee pots! Do check whether you need to provide your own towels and sheets however, as we had a bit of confusion with that but Marina sorted it out promptly. Simonetta came to see us before we checked out and helped us arrange a taxi to the airport. Many thanks Simonetta and Marina!
