The apartment is in a good area, around the corner from the US embassy. Also there are plenty of grocery stores around if you plan to do a bit of cooking (the apartment is not equipped for full meal preparation so think small scale quick meals). I'd recommend eating out, because after all, you are in Italy! Other than that, it was really useful to be able to do laundry and two bathrooms are always a plus. Be sure to plan a quick necessity purchase run as the apartment had only soap, cleaning supplies, and coffee upon arrival.
