Location
We are connected to Rome’s Central Train Station (Stazione Termini) via Bus Line 86. It’s a one bus ride all the way to our place. It takes about 30-45 minutes depending on traffic. The bus ride is an attraction in itself as it will tour through residential and commercial areas of the city.
It will give you the chance to mix with the regular day life of the romans while you are heading towards our new apartment in a growing part of the city.
How to reach us by public transportation
From Stazione Termini
Catch Bus 86 in Piazza dei Cinquecento, this is the name of the square in front in front of the train station. Bus 86’s top of the line should be in Corsia N (Lane N). On all the Lanes you can ask for Bus 86, anyone with a blue suit should be an employee of ATAC Bus Department – just ask.
Once you’re on board get comfortable and enjoy the trip. You will get off at the end of the line in Via Vincenzo Marmorale. Top of the line or end of the line in Italian is “capolinea”(said cup-o-lynn-eea).
When you get off at the end of the street is Via Carlo Muscetta. There is a church at the corner. The 3rd buiding on the left is home at n°180.

Catch Bus 211 outside of the station and get off at Piazza Sempione. Switch to Bus 86 direction Cinquina-Bufalotta (said Boof-a-lot-ta).
From Fiumicino “Leonardo da Vinci” International Airport
Follow indications for the Airport’s Train Station which is in front of the Terminal and connected through a series of pedestrian walkways that are on the 2nd floor. Otherwise just exit the Terminal and cross the street. The external entrance to the Train Station is located between the parking building and the office building across from the Airport.
You have 2 options from here but the easiest one is the first.

There is also a bus service that takes you directly to Stazione Termini. Ask at the Information Booth at Ciampino Arrivals. Then Bus86.
How to reach us by car
From wherever you are coming meaning you landed in one of our airports and rented a car or you are coming from other Italian cities or maybe even from Europe, once you get to Rome the first thing you will find is the GRA (Grande Raccordo Anulare), the freeway that circles Rome in it’s totality.
So you will take the GRA exit that goes in the direction of the Roma-Firenze Highway because it is right next to our exit and in this way you will be sure you’re on the shortest path.
Our exit is “uscita Bufalotta”. This exit is on the same shoulder that has the Roma-Firenze Highway exit. So just follow Roma-Firenze signs (RM-FI) until you get there.
Then follow the signs that say Via della Bufalotta, you will be passing in front of the big Mall called Porta di Roma. You will see a very big sign even from the GRA while you’re getting closer. Just pass in front of it following the Via della Bufalotta signs and you will be passing in a short tunnel that goes under the GRA itself. Keep the right under that bridge so to speak, and turn right as soon as you get out of it.
In 30 seconds there is a round-about where you turn right, and then immediately take the 1st to the left which is kind of a u-turn before the traffic lights.
Go straight for another minute (this is Via di Tor San Giovanni) and at the second set of traffic lights turn left in Via Emanuele Tesauro. At the end of this street turn left and take the first to the right (Via Vincenzo Marmorale). At the end turn left into Via Carlo Muscetta and the third building is ours.
Timing from the Airports – 30/45 minutes.
