In 2005 we visited Rome for 3 nights and I fell in love. On that trip we did a majority of the main tourist sites and took a private tour of the ruins. We stayed at the Marriott near the Spanish Steps, in the heart of the action. It was an incredible trip not to mention my very first trip to Europe – thanks to Jeff.

| Apartment in Rome |
This time we decided to rent an apartment off the beaten path. Jeff used VRBO to find the apartment. Words can’t describe how perfect this place is…it is in a neighborhood called Testaccio, which is close to the metro station and bus route so you can get to the “action” spots quickly but enjoy the true Italian neighborhood feel. The apartment itself has everything from air conditioning to internet…and it is very spacious. Top that off with cute neighborhood bars and restaurants and it is PERFECT! Plus, it was about a third of the price of a hotel in Rome. www.vrbo.com/296050 (+39 340 469 5687)

| Testaccio Food Market |
We have been to the Testaccio Food Market twice (an outdoor market about one block away) so we could have a couple of “home-cooked meals” and we found the Volpetti which is filled with meats and cheese and everything Italian. And the best part is that the Gelatto shop is right next door to our apartment!
