The district

Profusion of pizzerias with good cost-quality ratio.
A tour in the surroundings Metro line A connects very quickly to the center. The apartment is 350 meters away. from the Ponte Lungo stop and in 5 stops you reach Termini station, while in 20 minutes you will be in Piazza di Spagna, in the heart of Baroque Rome, and in 30 minutes in S. Pietro with the Vatican Museums. You are 4 from the Colosseum, from Roman History and from the History of Christianity, considering the proximity to the Appia Antica, the Catacombs and the Church of the "Quo Vadis".

This home was great--- plenty of room for 2 and all the necessities... a beautiful little patio. Only suggestion would be better wifi on the patio so I could work at the outdoor table, but otherwise it was perfect. It is off the main tourist route, but close enough to easily walk everywhere. The host is extremely helpful with details of locations to visit in Rome and was very responsive in helping book travel to the airport.
Thanks for a wonderful stay!
