We loved the neighborhood. People were friendly and helpful. There was nightlife, however, it was not disturbing if you wanted to turn in early, because the bedroom is at the back of the unit. i It was lively, not excessively crowded. There were a number of restaurants and coffee shops, and even a small convenience store to pick up grocery items. It was 17 minute walk to the Rome termini. Be aware, there is a nice shower head which can be handheld. This is good because there is no shower curtain. We were disappointed in the low water pressure of the shower. When we arrived, we discovered the conditioner in the living room was not working, however, the unit manager, Raul, assured us that the AC would be repaired early the next morning, and it was. Our main concern was the entry keys. There are three of them...one for the entry to the building, one for the entry to the floor, and one to the apartment, two of which took us two days to overcome the difficulty of entry. It was such a concern to us the first night that we skipped a planned evening tour for fear that we would be locked out. We felt very safe in the neighborhood and the apartment, and were pleased with our decision to stay.
