No lack of authenticity in this apartment, in particular if you like to 'feel' Rome as well in the place where they are staying. For others it may give a somewhat shabby impression, even though everything in the apartment is functional and kept in good order. There is indeed a lot of street-life that comes into the apartment, especially in the evening, but it is mainly people, many people, talking, and not the pounding beats of music. If you are only with two, you can still sleep in the back room with the doors closed, but if you are with more you will not be able to get away from it. Before entering the apartment you pass by a small court-yard, made to meet and chat with other people and their cats, no matter if they are two or three floors higher than you. I would definitely recommend the apartment to people who are outgoing and maybe not too choosy.
