We loved Franca's apartment! The neighborhood is wonderfully full of restaurants and shops. Our heavy bags were a bit of a challenge to lug up the stairs but Piero gave us a hand. Cold bottle of Prosecco was a thoughtful touch. The street noise is definitely there and part of the ambiance but if you close the windows, you don't hear any of it. Beds were very comfortable. There is a wall safe in the master bedroom closet. The master bedroom shower is small but the other shower in the hallway bathroom and the bathtub are big. Great for a family of four or five. Wonderful bakery with fresh croissants just outside the front door! Franca arranged for a driver to pick us up at the airport and drive us to the apartment (50E). Best decision we made! Taxi stand is two blocks away. Tram to center of Rome is across from the taxi stand. RomaPasses (buy them at the airport) worked well for us. Great gelato just down the street at Gelateria del Viale! We hope to return someday.
