We were met by the manager of the apartments on our arrival and my wife and I were pleased by her helpful and friendly manner. She spoke English, made us feel very welcome and suggested the best way we could get to visit our planned list of places to see during our one week of vacation, also where we would find local and reasonably priced restaurants.
Armed with a map and travel guide we had no problems in finding our way around the busy and exciting city of Rome. Trains, subway and buses, we used them all to travel when it was necessary and for many of the places we visited especially at cooler times of day we walked and walked!
Close to the hotel there are bakers, pizza parlors and fruit stores as well as a general food supermarket and of course numerous cafes and restaurants. The hotel provides a basic continental breakfast of cereal, yoghurt, pastries, juice, set aside each day for each of the three rooms in the hotel. Of course, not forgetting the coffee maker with capsules for coffee or tea to suit individual tastes.
The apartments are in a building one level above ground, clean and quite secure with a pleasant gated garden entrance. The surrounding area seemed very safe with charming cobbled streets and short walks to the busier tourist areas nearby.
Our advice; from Fiumicino Airport to this location, travel by train to Stazione St.Pietro only a 5 minute walk to the apartment. Also, buy a Roma 3-day Pass to save on ticket prices for museums & transport.
