I booked this room for a two-day work meeting, so my needs were rather different than a tourist. I appreciated the apartment's close location to the metro and other public transportation, which served my needs nicely. It's not Rome's most charming neighborhood, but I felt safe and had no worries there. Eugenia (Rose's sister-in-law) was my host on this trip and she was very kind and a good communicator. She let me check in a bit early and offered to store my luggage after check out. My bedroom was very simply decorated but cute, and also very clean (with fresh sheets, a comfortable mattress, and comfy pillows). I liked having a balcony, even though it was shared with other guests; it was a great spot for tea. I would advise against relying on the breakfast, since it is really simple and not particularly tasty (a pre-packaged pastry, cereal, concentrated juice). There were a few small issues, like calcium in the tea kettle and sometimes not enough toilet paper, but overall the place was clean. I'm a light sleeper, so I sometimes woke up when other guests unlocked their room door (there's no quiet way to do that), and the sheet curtains let a lot of light in early. But again, I am a light sleeper - other people will perhaps not be bothered by this. Overall this place worked well for my short business trip and was a good value. If I was spending a bit more money and on vacation, though, I think there are probably more scenic options.
