Glorious! Just returned (party of four) from two glorious weeks in Rome staying in this apartment. Judy's review below presents the pros (many) and cons (one: the disturbing nightly noisiness that wafts up from the street that is heard in the front bedroom) very well. My additions: PROS: I love to cook and this kitchen and surrounding markets are most accommodating. An outdoor market for produce, meats and fish, is around the corner. A small market across the street a few doors down to the right has wonderful cheeses, good bread, sliced meats, friendly proprietors and a good selection is wine. There is a bakery in the neighborhood with pignoli and "real" cream filled pastries to die for. Lots of places to eat. Stroll down Via Del Moro, minutes away, for tons of options and be sure to stop at Fiorno La Renella for pizza. Seek out the area near St. Cecilia's - best meal of the week: LE MANI in PASTA. Via dei Genovesi 37 (make a reservation), and at the end of our trip, if you like Indian Food - RADJHANI, Via di Santa Cecelia, 8. As a last note, I can turn this apartment's CON into a PRO: if you are looking for peace and quiet, go stay in the Villa Borghese area of Rome. If you are looking to be in the thick of it and experience the liveliness of Rome, this "delicious" apartment at Via Di San Francesco a Ripa, 169 is the place you want to be. I am hoping that subliminally, I learned some Italian from all that Iate night chatter that eventually lulled me off to sleep...
