we chose Riccardo's apartment because it was close to the many areas we wanted to visit, in the short time we were in Rome. The apartment was certainly quiet. I made the mistake of forgetting how heavy 100kg of luggage is up five flights of stairs! (no elevator is mentioned, so no fault on the listing) If you do choose to stay here, please remember the stairs. The apartment is not as big in real life as it seems on the listing, again remember this is Italy many apartment are small. If you do choose to stay here, it's probably at best a couples space, we had 4 and it was too small for us all.
