This is a large flat in a slightly run down part of Rome close to the main railway station. The street on which the apartment is situated is full of fairly tacky shops selling items such as belts, scarves, jewellery (not tourist items). There were quite a few people hanging around on the streets and at first I was slightly nervous about the neighbourhood but we got used to it and never felt threatened.
The apartment is large, clean and neatly decorated though not stylishly so. It's not the sort of place you can hang out and relax in though it's a good enough base. It's relatively central and close to the underground but it's a reasonable walk to find a decent restaurant or cafe.
Claudio was businesslike and friendly and met us promptly at the appointed time to let us in. He was also good at keeping in touch before we arrived.
For the amount we paid I thought it was excellent value especially for a family.
