Living Cost in Rome
The apartments that are for rent, located at downtown Rome would either be too big for the guests or too small. Large ones have 5 rooms while the smaller ones have 2 rooms. An average family would find that a bit inconvenient and too expensive. An option is to live in the outskirts but Rome has terrible traffic. There are obvious additional costs for transportation and waste of time traveling to the center.
An average apartment of about 60 square meters with two bedrooms would cost around 1000 to 2500 euros per month. Gas price is around 30 euros monthly. Water utility in average, would be around 20 euros a month. Electricity bills reach 70 euros a month on the average. A family of four would most likely consume 700 euros worth of groceries every month.
