This is a newly furnished apartment, with a low but comfortable bed. The terrace is a bonus, and the apartment is conveniently close to The Vatican. There is a small local market nearby. Rome is a chaotic place, and it maybe was that we weren't used to it, but the apartment was very noisy in the mornings, especially when the supermarket below opened up, with the sound of large trucks, motorcycles and other vehicles. Sleeping in past 7:00 was not an option. Other areas in Rome are accessible by bus, but this is not really aa picturesque or walking neighbourhood. But again, maybe that's just North American standards wrongly applied to Rome. Bruno's father was very nice, as were his friends who translated for him.
