We had a great time in Rome based at Daniela and Ivano's flat. It's located out of the busy central tourist areas but there is still a lot going on locally - great pizza restaurants, bakery, cafe etc. We spent much of our visit walking between attractions wth our kids (8&10) but did use the tram to get into central Rome from the flat. Line 8 is just round the corner (5mjn walk) and terminates at Piazza Venezia (15-20min ride). We bought individual tickets at the Tabac next to the flat (Kids under 10 travel for free!). Ivano met us at the flat when we arrived and was very helpful in suggesting some of best sights to see and a few of the more local destinations as well. The flat is very modern, nicely fitted out, spacious and clean. Definitely worth a visit.
