It is a cozy little nest that was very clean and had all the basic things you could need. The heater worked great and the water was HOT for a shower. (If this matters to you the apartment seemed to be mold free) The elevator goes to floor 7 and you walk up the last flight to floor 8. It is near the underground which was easy to learn to use so I could get anywhere in the city easily. There are small grocers nearby and even few "health" food stores nearby , as well. The neighborhood felt safe and I felt comfortable walking alone all over. Look forward to staying there again on future visits to Rome. Thank you!!
