First, Roberta is a wonderful communicator and always accessible. The studio is just what we needed for our five-day stay in Rome. The neighborhood is near the Vatican Museums (10 minute walk). Roberta recommended several restaurants in the neighborhood, of which we tried two and enjoyed. We were surrounded by Italians. ;-) There is a supermarket within a block or two and it's near a centrally-located metro (two or three stops to the center). The mattress was firm, which we like, and the water hot. The air conditioning was a life-saver in the heat. Highly recommended!
