We loved the apartment. Our family of 5 (college/high school age kids) had enough room not to be on top of each other. The wifi worked well enough that my hopes of unplugging the kids were dashed but we needed it to confirm tour arrangements. We ate in a couple of meals with food from the grocery near by and washed laundry twice. The use of the clothesline was very quaint. The AC worked very well and with all the windows/shutters closed the noise from the square was not noticeable from the bedrooms. The noise from the courtyard was heard only from the down stairs bedroom. The location of the apartment was FABULOUS! It was centrally located to all the main points of interest in Rome. We felt safe and yet had easy access to almost everything. LOVED IT!
