This apartment was very nice and spacious. The beds were very comfortable and showers were adequate. As in most Italian showers, there are no soap racks or any place to put your shampoo other than the floor, which makes it a little difficult if the shower stall is small. There was some noise from neighbors in the courtyard getting their bicycle’s out or cleaning supplies from a storage room, but for being downtown Rome, it wasn’t too bad as far as traffic noise. We enjoyed the three nights we were there, being so close to the Vatican and other major attractions. Air conditioning worked really well. The steps going up to the apartment were not as bad as some have mentioned and we are in our late sixties and early seventies. I would stay there again.
