What a lovely place to stay! Virginia's husband met us to let us in, and we found the apartment to be very clean and it had absolutely everything we could need. It was furnished beautifully - elegant, simple, modern - and we made great use of the gorgeous garden every day - an amazing place to relax, and so private. It was several degrees cooler than outside, which was merciful in July. There was everything you could need in the neighbourhood. We found the neighbourhood market on via Sabotino - fresh fruit, veg, fish, meat, cheese, salumi, even a shoe repair place. Across the street from the market is an excellent caffe and pastry shop, where we bought a gorgeous semifreddo confection for my husband's birthday, and close by is a children's playground. There's a brilliant wine shop (enoteca) on via Durazzo, just down the street from the small supermarket, a bread shop on via Angelico, and on viale Carso we found a wonderful butcher's shop, as well as a bar with nice wines for sale. We ate in most of the time but tried Il Ristorantino next door and Maledetti Toscani on via Monte Pertica, and both were excellent. The 32 bus will take you back and forth to Ottaviano metro stop (nice gelateria on the corner), and the apartment is even within walking distance of the Vatican. We were sorry to leave our lovely haven in Rome, but we have wonderful memories. We would love to stay again.
