We stayed for 8 nights (2 adults 2 teenage children)--apartment very clean and equipped with everything we needed (which we really appreciated because we didn't have to run out and buy supplies right away). The owner met us when we arrived and gave us a 5 minute orientation, which we appreciated. Anything we needed he responded immediately. The location is great--as mentioned by others there is a bar/cafe located directly across the street that is open early for coffee and pastries, and late (like 10PM) for a beer or a wine. The owner of cafe was very friendly, always helpful (he carried coffees across the street for us several mornings). The market, which has everything, is a few steps away, bank machine, laundromat (although the unit has laundry), and metro just down the street. Literally one street over is a main artery of Rome and the street is filled with cafes and restaurants, pharmacy, etc. Very convenient and close by. Our teenage boys ate pizza and pasta nearly every day at the nearby restaurant and ran to the market for supplies whenever they wanted. While the unit is on a relatively quiet street, it is on street level and if windows are open, you can hear everything going on outside (cars, scooters, conversations). However with windows closed, it really wasn't an issue. All considered we recommend and would stay there again. Just so easy to get everywhere in Rome from this home base.
