The proximity to the tourist sites was nice and the apartment was great. I also appreciated the clean apartment! Plenty of space for my wife and I. I like having a place to cook to save on eating out a lot while still being able to see Rome. Massimo and his family were very kind and accommodating. We definitely appreciated them!
We read previous reviews about the noise level from the bar across the street. Its one thing reading about it. It's another thing living it. My wife and I have two kids and were looking forward to having uninterrupted sleep for a week. The noise from the bar begins about 12:30am and continues until about 4:00am, and people are standing outside talking most of that time. This was not just a weekend occurrence, but most every day of the week. The walls/windows let the noise through as if the people were standing in your room.
We also couldn't get the shower temperature figured out. It would switch back and forth between hot and cold. This wasn't too bad, because you just wait for the hot to begin flowing again to wash off.
Overall, we would probably stay there again. However, an eye mask and ear plugs are a must (possibly a small fan to drown out noise).
