Upon arriving, Barbara was there to give a thorough rundown of the place and its logistics (how to lock/unlock the door, where everything is kept, etc.) and was really helpful. She gave me a map of Rome to keep, and left a homemade folio that had info on the apartment's rules, where to eat, helpful phone numbers, and where the supermarket was. She also took down some of my own info according to some of Italy's housing codes.

The place has all you need for a stay in Rome: a kitchen with a fridge and kettle, a hairdryer, warm water, a comfy bed, a big dresser, and a nice window that lets plenty of sunlight in. Best of all, the place provided Euro to Italy outlet converters, and the Internet for the room is provided by a portable MiFi hotspot that guests are allowed to take around with them during their stay. This helped us out TREMENDOUSLY while navigating the town because it meant we didn't have to use our roaming data.

The neighborhood felt safe and there's a supermarket and some restaurants close by. It's about a 15 minute walk to hit the walls of Vatican City, and the closest public transportation stop is Ottavia, which is about a 7~9 minute walk.

Two things to consider: Warm water for the shower runs cold after about 20 minutes (as my friend who used it after me found out the hard way!) But if you give it a 10 minutes, the shower will run warm again, no problem. Second, since the place is near the entrance of the building, you can hear other residents coming in and out and taking the elevator/lift from time to time. It's not particularly loud and it didn't bother me personally, but I know some people can be sensitive to that, so that's just an FYI.

All in all, I really liked this place and would recommend this to others.
