We have made reservations for an apartment which is located on Via flaminio near the Piazza del Popolo? Does anyone know anything about the area and is it a safe area in which to stay?

Seems a little dated to "top" this, but since tnnurse posted a new question again today, maybe replies would still be in order?

A better more specific header <i>might</i> help (or might not make any difference).

Best wishes,

Via Flaminia is okay. Busy area though. Not known for character. You have to cross quite a lot of traffic to get into P.za del Popoulo but thereafter you are in a great and central shopping and sightseeing area -- the centro storico areas of Pantheon, P.za navona etc on your right, via Margutta (leading to Spanish steps) on your left.

Sorry P.za del Popolo -- my sloppy typing.

thank you to rex and tedgale for replying to my request. the apartment was found on rbvo.com which i have used for many rentals in the usa. we are sharing the apartment with another couple for the rate of 480E for 3 nights. the pixs look good on the website. Will we have difficulty crossing the busy road on foot?

seprumably, you meant vrbo.com

There's no pedestrian underpass or overpass, that I recall -- there never is in Rome! I guess you just do as the Romans do and dash across.

I must be dyslexic as the proper scource for the rental was vrbo.com. thanks for the correction.
