This was a great little apartment. Having a washing machine was a nice touch. While the weather was too hot to enjoy the balcony, it is nicely decorated with various succulents and other plants. It is not in central Rome near all the tourist attractions, though the area is quiet and not touristy at all. We took the metro and walked every day for about 30-45 minutes to get into the main part of the city. There was a delicious cheese, meat, and small specialty grocery store right next to the apartment building-a must try! Check-in and check-out were a breeze!
