I've visited Rome a array of times, as good as we consider I've eventually nailed a time of year to visit. It took a couple of tries. Shoot for anytime in in between late September as good as mid-October. The continue is nice, though not hot. You competence get a occasional afternoon rain, though not much over that. As far as where to stay? we still don't have a good letter of reference for apartment rentals. Both times I've rented apartments, they've been perfectly o.k. - clean, good locations, completely livable, in accord with worth for a money. I'd recommend a apartment we rented in Testaccio if it weren't for a noise. The mind-numbing noise. Even with earplugs. This sold apartment was upon a busy, rarely trafficked street, as good as even with a dual layers of shutters closed, it was similar to vital subsequent to a freeway.
To revoke Rome to a list of places we enjoyed upon this sold revisit feels a bit strange. In partial because it's all a small moments removing from place to place which we love. To be able to pop in to a Pantheon upon your approach to a coffee date, or buy mushrooms during marketplace which has been in a same place for hundreds of years feels so opposite to me than what we experience in my regular day to day routine. And a approach very old design as good as iconography is woven in to urban life there never gets dull.
