We LOVED the apartment, and the location was fabulous. The apartment has everything you'd need. It's quiet at night, great view. There are a lot of steps (as others have mentioned) but we thought it well worth the walk. Transport is easy, with a cab stand one block away at Santa Chiara. Also within an easy walk are the Jesù Nuovo, the Veiled Christ and Museo Archeologico. The neighborhood is boisterous, colorful, maybe a little gritty, but it feels very safe, even late at night. Lovely friendly people, children out late at night, so you can tell the locals feel safe. We wandered happily and, when we got lost just asked for directions to Santa Chiara. Easy.
