We spent three nights and two days in Rome. I am not going to lie - it was all we could take. Rome in August = throngs of tourists and a noticeable absence of Romans. In fact most Italian cities are vacant in August as people flock to the beaches and mountains.
Luckily we had a very tranquil Air BnB apartment. it was the perfect refuge at the end of the day. And when you slip away onto a deserted Roman street it, almost feels like yours.
