at first i was disappointed with the appartment and with the whole building. it must have been a luxury place 20 years ago but now the complex building needs some serious refreshment. But still it's perfectly clean, just getting old. In the appartment i noticed right away very old wooden windows, single glassed which won't protect you much from the heat, the cold or the noise. down below the appartment is the parking lot, so i was worried about the noise from the cars coming and leaving. But in the end i'm very satisified because it was amazingly very quiet. We never heard much noise during the whole week and could sleep late in the morning. it's very satisfying after a whole day of walking in the frenzy of roma streets. the appartment was very clean, the towels very nice and very thick and the bed mattress couln'dt be better. fery firm and confortable. air conditioning too very useful. After all, the really important things for a cozy stay were provided by this appartment and by paola who was very nice to us. so i will recommend it. we had a car and took it up to the metro stations of "cornelia" or "baldo". you can park in the streets around for free without to much trouble and then just hop in the metro. Didn't really feel like leaving the appartment by foot.
