The location of this place is absolutely terrific. Most of the places one visits in Rome, Colloseo, Trevi, Pantheon, Vatican, Castelo San Angelo etc are in an easy walking distance. Communication is not at all a problem. Be prepared to tolerate loud noise on Saturday evenings till 3/4 am in the morning - a sacrifice you have to make for this fantastic location. Also, water pressure is very bad in the shower and if you are tall you have to watch your head. Lots of thoughtful touches in the apartment and generations of guests have left stuff behind to be used which is neat.
