Arrival in Rome

Got in at 19:30 and just made the 20:12 train from FCO Leonardo Da Vinci Aeroporto via Train #FL1 to Trastevere station. There we found a tabacchi shop (look for a T which at times might be placed high up on the corner of the block it is located in) at the corner across the street in a little nook of a store to buy bus tickets (€1.50 gets you anywhere in Rome on the public transit system) for Tram #8 which took us to GG Belli stop. One block up into an alleyway and we were here - 31 Bonosa. We could not see a bell, but just as we were looking up their number, a couple buzzed up on a scooter and introduced themselves! It was Elisa, the daughter of the owner, As it was now dark and we were pretty tired, we unpacked and tucked in. The apartment is basic, clean, comfortable and proved to be quiet given we are pretty much right in the middle of things across from Tiber Island. We will soon get quite familiar with the square of GG Belli and its bus and tram stop!Read more
