If you are going to visit Rome this is the place you need to stay. The location is amazing. We did the Rick Steves Heart of Rome audio walking tour which I highly recommend and it began within 400 meters of the apartment. That tells you how central it is and how close to all the sites. We were within easy walking distance of a grocery, amazing restaurants, shopping and transit. Yes it is small and yes you can hear your neighbours but this is high density living. It was super clean. It had everything we needed to make a simple dinner one night when didn't want to go out. We felt safe in this neighborhood and would definitely recommend this place and Fabio without hesitation. One hint on Rome buy your tickets online and ahead of time or you will spend your day in a very long line up.
