This apartment is exactly as described. Cozy with space enough to fit up to 3 comfortably. We were 1 couple and had enough room to relax. The area of Trastavere is so cool - like the lower West Side (if you're familiar with New York City) of Rome. Less touristy and still walkable to the heart of Rome. The area is definitely the place to be on Friday and Saturday night so the noise in the area is as described. We had no problem with it as we are not light sleepers and we were exhausted from our daily excursions. Anyway we agree with Luca, it's not "loud" it's just the sounds of "life!" He was a great host and very helpful and responds quickly with any questions we had. Grazie Luca!
