Switched my acccommodation for five of us to the north part of the city (Spagna district, Spanish Steps etc.) and just south of Villa Borghese – where the buses may likely go from (thanks @Bozza). Villa Borghese is a beautiful park too. Worked out about £50 per person per night. Very happy...
Superb. Thanks @Bozza. Might switch my accomm from Vatican way then.
(no 3rd century BC Olympic marble stadium this time next to the bus stop.. shame).
I guess no one has the inside track yet on where ticket collection will be and bus departures do they?
Location worked a dream for me in Athens on this note (by luck).
