This flat is a good size and in an excellent location to visit all the sites. We walked everywhere and it was great to come back to every evening or even just for a rest in the day. The street itself is small and typically Roman, with many and varied shops, cafes, gelateria, and bars in it. It could be a little noisy in evening and early in the morning, as other reviewers note, but it is not intrusive and is offset by being in such a convenient area. It gives you a real feel for living in there which we loved. There is a good kitchen with everything you need, so making a plate of pasta with fresh parmesan on top with a glass of red wine was easy if you wanted to stop in. We did not meet Mario but a friend of his met us at the flat, and he kept in contact by e-mail our whole holiday and was on hand for any queries which were answered quickly and clearly. Thank you Mario for our lovely week in Rome!
