Location can't be beat if its your first time in Rome -walking distance to Colleseum and the Metro. Tons of great restaurants nearby, we only used a cab to get to the airport and one other neighbourhood that was a bit out of the way. The AC was a saviour in the heat as well. The apt itself would be a bit difficult to find if you were on your own but Gianluca waited for us outside and showed us the building/elevator where our apt was - would definitely stay again!
