Personal comments
"Baja", a boat on the Tibre (main river). Excellent place not so far from the "piazza del popolo", where you've got an incredible view on the river. Open bar every tuesday (15 euros for boys, 10 for girls)

I was in a flat at 20 min from university on foot. Near the metropolitan and main buses. Small flat with double rooms (because of the high prices!). Great experience!
