This apartment was on the second floor of a large building that surrounds a Piazza. During the Day, the Piazza is filled with dozens of food vendors and there are little cafes here and there as well as little shops. There is also a little grocery store around the corner. We found the location to be superior as we could walk to the famous Rome Attractions easily. The apartment is nicely set up with two bedrooms that face out to the Piazza - I was happy to find that the windows shut out all the noise and we actually found it pleasant to open the windows to see what was going on. The host left conversion plugs for those who need it. The furnishings were simple and the kitchen has the basics...no coffee maker - a French press for coffee but we ended up having espresso every morning at the café just outside the entrance door. I highly recommend this unit - its very basic but suited our needs perfectly.
