APARTMENT FOR RENT
IN ROME'S TESTACCIO DISTRICT
   
     
   
           
   


We rent our sunny apartment, with a view over the remains of the Porticus Aemilia, for short periods (one-four months) through the year. The apartment is small (70m2) but well-organised, and sleeps three people comfortably in one double and one single bedroom. Both bedrooms have ample closet space and large desks.
   There are overhead fans in the bedrooms, and a table-top fan in the living room; there is no air-con. For the winter months, there is very efficient central heating. The apartment is on the 4th (US 5th) floor of a six-floor apartment block, with a lift (elevator).
    There is a TV with an all-platform DVD player and a hifi system in the living room.
    The kitchen, though small, is fully equipped with crockery, cutlery and all the cooking equipment you will need, including a micrwave. There is no dishwasher.
    The bathroom has a tub and shower, as well as a washing machine.
    There is a small balcony.
    Wireless internet is included in the rent, as are most utilities (heating is metered, and charged at cost) and a weekly visit from our cleaning lady.

       
       
       
     
   
 
 
On the left bank of the Tiber, just downstream from the Aventine hill, Testaccio was home to ancient Rome's river port. Remains of this workaday past can still be seen in the area: the port itself, segments of wall from the vast Porticus Aemilia trade centre and the incongruous Monte Testaccio, a hill built exclusively of discarded terracotta potsherds.
    Nowadays, Testaccio offers the city's most exciting nightlife scene, a bustling morning produce market and a burgeoning arts and alternative lifestyle zone inside the former municipal slaughterhouse. It's a residential zone, and extremely safe, with a children's park and play area much frequented by a very cosmopolitan crowd of kiddies. Frequent buses take ten minutes to reach piazza Venezia.
