The apartment is as advertised. The neighborhood seemed safe. Our host, Alexandra, helped reserve airport transfer and even helped us print something out on a Sunday when the print shop was closed. The location is alright (across from Castel SantAngelo). The sound of sirens from the road 3 minutes away did start to grate on my nerves, but noise comes with spending time in any big city. The apartment and immediate neighborhood are fairly quiet. The plumbing was fine while were here: nice hot shower.
