My husband and I greatly enjoyed the two large private terraces, and the very convenient location of this apartment. The bed was also very comfortable, and the kitchenette very convenient (the coldest refrigerator on our month-long trip!), and the fast Wi-Fi very much appreciated. Yes, the interior living space is quite small, including the bathroom, but we thought these were minor inconveniences compared to bringing our wine and meals to the terraces to enjoy the panoramic views of sunrise and sunset over Centro Storico Roma.

There was a little mix up on our check in, with some confusion over the time of check in, and the servicing of the apartment from the prior guests, but we were assured this was a one-time event, and everything went very smoothly after that.

We really enjoyed the neighborhood. There is a wonderful gelato shop just next door, a very convenient supermarket just around the next corner, and a cafe/bar for coffee and delicious pastries two doors down. The river and the Trastevere area is a short 5-minute walk away, and there is a bicycle rental nearby. We rented bikes, rode along the Tiber River, then stopped in the Trastevere for lunch. We enjoy craft beer as well as wine, and there is an excellent beer brewery/pub about 5 minutes' walk. There are excellent artisan leather shops and craftsman shops nearby. We also walked as far as the Spanish Steps and the Colosseum from the apartment, each about a 20- to 30 minutes' walk.

There are several bus and tram stops nearby, making access to the Vatican Museum easy. Some trams did vibrate the building, but this is a big city, so we thought it was no different from New York or other big cities we have visited.
