The location, central for walking to all major sights and in a pleasantly bustling part of the city, can't be beat. Proximity of Campo Fiore vast fresh food market, and to an adequate grocery store, made it quite easy to purchase food for our own breakfasts. Restaurants abound everywhere.

Re: comfort of the apartment: The bedroom at the rear, above a quiet courtyard, made for noise-free sleeping. Good size, quite comfortable bed. We didn't use the fold-out sofa bed in the living area. Tiny bathroom and kitchen were both highly functional. Comfortable temperatures easy to maintain with separate heating unit for living area and for bedroom. On our February visit we used heat, not air-conditioning. 3rd floor up narrow unlevel steps posed no problem once we were helped upstairs with our large suitcases. Host Luca was highly accessible and quite helpful at all times. Cable TV had excellent reception, with a total of 5 English-speaking news channels; we also used the DVD player and chose from a small selection of DVDs provided.

All was clean and comfortable throughout our 12-day stay. We would stay here again if we make another trip to Rome, and will recommend the apartment to others.
