My Mother and I stayed at Raffaella's apartment during our recent trip to Rome and would stay there again. The location of the apartment was excellent and the by far it's best benefit .

The Ghetto area is very lively with an active local community and some (bot not too many) tourists. The cafes and restaurants right outside the apartment door are great and serve some amazing food at fair prices. You are within easy walking distance to many of the major sites which is a real bonus.

The apartment itself is fine. Nothing too fancy but certainly provided for our every need although we did have trouble with the air conditioning unit which only worked some of the time. The apartment itself stayed cool enough without it though for this not to be a major issue even though it was quite warm over the 5 days we were in Rome.

We were able to use the washing machine and loved having our own patio to enjoy in the evenings before dinner. The neighborhood can get quite noisy at night but I would not let this keep anyone from staying here. If you are super noise sensitive, bring some earplugs. The location more than makes up for any noise!

There was no wi-fi access in the apartment, but the neighborhood itself is covered by a free wi-fi network and almost all of the cafes have free wi-fi as well so this was not a problem.

Overall, I would definitely stay here again. Not a 5-star property, but accurately represented in the posting and everything you would need for a nice, comfortable holiday in Rome with great access to sites and amenities. Excellent value!
