Linda's apartment was in a great location with easy access to the metro. It was away from extensive road noise, but be aware that the windows have not been updated, and they allow what noise there is to pass easily. This was only an issue in the front bedroom that faced the piazza.
The kitchen was functional, and I did quite a bit of baking and laundry with no major problems. An oven mitt or hot pad would have been helpful, as I burned myself trying to use the towel to take things out of the oven.
My children loved the lofts in the two back bedrooms, and spent a good bit of time playing in the larger loft. It was very sturdy with easy steps to climb.
Overall, I would return to Linda's place in Rome if I visit again.
