Great place within 30 minutes of the centre. It was ideal for us as we were running the RomaOstia half marathon and the apartment was between the start point and the city.
It isn't really close to the city or the metro but if you can use the buses it is easy to get in and out of the city.
It is a quiet neighbourhood but you will hear traffic passing the window until late at night and early morning.
There is a cafe and a really good bakery with really good food at the top of the road (150m away). The Carrefour is also within easy walking distance.
We had a great time in Rome and Valentina and Luca were really good to communicate and waited for us until quite late as our flight was delayed.
