We spent 5 nights at Davide's place around NYE. The two apartments were great for the 6 of us . I wondered beforehand if it would be noisy, since the apartment is centrally located and the locals love to ride loud Vespas and car drivers communicate with their horns a lot. But generally speaking noise was not a problem in the apartment, probably because it is on the second floor, and ceilings are very high, so it was like a third floor level, and more importantly, the windows sealed well. It was only the fireworks that were a bit over the top on NYE itself (all day and night long - and apparently they still sell bunger-bombs in Italy). We used a washing machine sometimes and cooked every night and found every bit of kitchen gear we needed in the apartment. The access to public transport was close and extensive, being just south of Piazza Garibaldi. This and the apartment's elevator were great assets for us given one of us walks with difficulty. I highly recommend staying here.
