Location, location, location! This was fabulous for our two-week stay in Rome. Our goal was to live like a Roman, but be sure to visit all the tourist sites. The bus line was right outside the gates to the apartment building. There is a phenomenal cafe, Gianfornario a few steps away, a great Pizza place next door, and a gelato place across the street! Walk a few blocks and there are many shops where the language is only Italian, children play in the parks and the restaurants are authentic old world cooking. Il Forno Antico was our favorite.
The apartment itself was perfect and as described. The kitchen was well equipped, the furniture and bed very comfortable. There was a washing machine which came in handy for our stay. Although there is no dryer, typical in Italy, the drying rack worked just fine! Everything in the apartment was very clean with more than enough closet space to arrange belongings for our stay. Although there were folks above us, we rarely heard them and there was no disturbance from the street. We arranged airport pick up and return through our host who was there to greet us when we arrived.
We would definitely return to Testaccio and this apartment!
