First, we liked the location! Location, location and once again location. You can walk to the Central Train Station; to Metro; to a grocery store, coffee shops and to the Colosseum! We even walked twice from Vatican and took a metro going to. Location to us was important as you don't want to have an additional expense to commute daily when you can walk. Second, we absolutely loved the private garden where we enjoyed a glass of wine in the evenings. Third, we were able to do our laundry on site, which helped us greatly as we stayed for almost three weeks. Lastly, we enjoyed being emerged in the culture vs hotel setting, and even went for a dance at a neighbor's house. If we ever go back to Roma - Luisa will be our first choice of contact to check on availability of the condo - not a hotel.
