Our stay in Rome was delightful, in large part due to the lovely, spacious apartment. It was charming and comfortable. Having the tram line outside was very convenient. If you want a sanitized hotel go stay in one. If you want a genuine Roman experience in a lovely old apartment, stay here. There will be some street noise in the front rooms and no a.c., but we were pretty comfortable with out it despite Rome having a heat wave. The family is delightful and gracious and very helpful. We loved it!
