Our stay was very comfortable. We had a car and there was a private parking space available (which was perfect because Rome's traffic was a nightmare!) The area seemed very safe, and being 15-20 minutes away from the Colosseum didn't hurt either! The apartment was approximately 10-15 minutes away from the nearest metro station which had a train that ran through the central parts of Rome. There was a 24/7 grocery store just down the road and plenty of restaurants nearby.
