Truly enjoyed staying at Federico's upstairs apartment, which was located in the heart of Rome. Most of the famous historical sites were within easy walking distance or a quick bus ride to other sites. Federico was there to meet us when we arrived, though our arrival experience had been tainted by a group of teenage pickpockets at the Termini train/bus station. Federico was very helpful in providing info on the apartment & tips about the local area, including the police station location.
If you want to be close to everything & don't mind the sporadic street noise from underneath the windows, this is a neat place for a couple to stay. But if you're the type of person who demands absolute quietness at night during your stay or have any physical difficulties climbing one flight of circular staircase steps, you may want to consider elsewhere.
There's always pros & cons of any rental property, but the pros of this apartment easily outweighed the cons. If my wife & I travel back in Rome in the future, we would definitely consider this property again. Rome is a great place with tons of history & great restaurants, but please be sure to guard your wallet & phone at all times!
