We have really enjoyed our stay, one really can’t wish for a better location in Rome. My parents and I stayed 4 nights and have never used public transportation since all the sightseeing spots were so easily accessible by foot.
However, on the first morning we were awaken by some neighborly lady ringing and banging on the door and screaming “silence in the morning” (it was 6 am and we were all asleep). After the first surprise was over, we were joking about this episode since it definitely added a certain Italian melodramatic touch to our visit :)
I really enjoyed staying in the second open floor, it was quite an unusual and very convenient apartment structure.
There are basic amenities in the kitchen, but the stove was already quite strained while preparing coffee - but cooking yourself while being in Rome would be a real waste anyhow :)
