The apartment is in an awesome area with great restaurants, gelato, grocery store, etc. in the neighborhood. All the major sites can easily be walked to - the Colosseum and Vatican Museum were the farthest at 25-30 minutes, Spanish Steps ~20 minutes and everything else ~15 minutes or less. Despite being very central, it is quiet at night and falling asleep was not an issue at all. Barbara was a great host as she gave some great tips, always answered very quickly and was very accommodating with check in and check out. The apartment was very clean and everything worked perfectly.
