Although this apartment is in need of some definite TLC (namely a deep clean and fresh paint in the bathroom to cover the mold), it is in a great location in a relatively quiet apartment complex. The kitchen is small, but we were able to make do, and it was nice having a private patio where we could eat and relax. If access to the major sites is the most important aspect of a place, then this apartment is a solid choice. (Cristina also mentioned that maintenance wasn't able to take care of the painting/mold over the summer, so it is definitely something that she is aware of and will probably fix once the maintenance can be done.) FYI: We were able to walk to the Vatican, Forum, Borghese, etc in 20-45 minutes. There are also some terrific restaurants, shopping, and live music in this particular neighborhood.
