Emanuele's apartment is in a superb location just a couple of short blocks from the entrance to the Vatican museums. There is great access to the metro and the historical sites of Roman are within a reasonable walk for a healthy person. Restaurants and markets are in the neighborhood. The apartment itself is lovely and comfortable. There is no street noise, but there are neighbors that you can hear every once and a while. This was never a problem. We will definitely look at Emanuele's place first when we return to Rome. The combination of value and location is hard to beat.
