Home truths
You won't find an oven here – though there is a hob. We think the kitchen is better suited to prepping lighter bites than large meals.
At full occupancy, two guests will sleep on the sofa bed in the living area.
You're only a short walk from the Roma Tuscolana train station here, making getting to central Rome simple.

Local guide
About Tuscolano
Beyond the railway station, Tuscolano doesn’t have architecture to match some of the other parts of the city, but its streets are filled with green, and it has several nice restaurants and a couple of lovely parks. It’s generally a very safe area, with great transport links as the metro runs into the city along Via Appia Nuova - you can get all the way to the Vatican without changing lines.
