Roberta has an older apartment in a fairly quiet neighborhood several blocks from the train station. It could stand a little updating but was clean and the beds were comfortable. Windows are positioned so that there is some cross ventilation. We could close the windows at night for quiet and still not be too hot (note, we were there end of April). We walked to the Colosseum and Forum from her place but it is a bit of a walk. That was ok with us. We expect to walk a lot when in Rome. It was also a few blocks to restaurants that we liked. Roberta was very helpful with our questions.
