You could not ask for a better location. Grocery next door and almost all major sights within walking distance. Unit is located in a very secure building with plenty of room for the eight of us. The washer/dryer was a bit of a challenge for us as European appliances can be quite different to operate than the standard U.S. appliance but we did manage and it was definitely a convenience to have them in unit. We had read about possible noise problems on the street-side bedrooms in previous reviews but only had a couple of instances in 7 nights where noise woke any of us up so I would say that noise was not a big issue, especially for being in a city such as Rome, however, there was a bell that rang each morning at 7 a.m. but I'm sure it could be heard almost everywhere around that section of city. The interior rooms had no issues at all. The only real negative we had concerned a shortage of hot water for showers. Our host assured us that it was not a problem in the past, and we certainly found no reviews mentioning it, so we figured it was an unexpected issue. The owner came in to check it out but could not locate any obvious problems so probably a plumber was needed to evaluate. Great place to stay overall and would definitely stay there again and would recommend to anyone!
