Our last stop on this visit—our seventh to Italy—has us in a spacious ground-floor flat on a quiet street in Roma. As I mentioned in the previous post, and sorry for the repetition, but if you step out our door and turn left, you will find Piazza Farnese at the end of the block, then Campo de' Fiori after another block.
If you turn right you will encounter a pretty pedestrian bridge over the Tiber to Trastevere.
We aren't next to any of the big tourist draws, but they aren't far away either. One evening we walked to the Forum and Coliseum, another evening we walked to the drained-of-water and under-construction Trevi fountain and the Spanish steps. They are all within about a 20 minute walk.
The apartment is colourful and character-full, has two baths, and is equipped with the usual washing machine, kitchen, and a clothes-drying rack. The seating is worn and not particularly comfortable, the bane of rentals. And while it has heat, in the form of the ubiquitous heat pump, the apartment is on the ground floor of an old stone building so it gets no sun and the stone stays cold. The place in Napoli had a similar affliction though Danilo provided slippers. Here I find that I am wearing more clothes inside than out. I have a toque permanently glued to my bald head.
