I highly recommend this place. It is situated so that you can easily catch a bus to many places and has many restaurants and stores nearby. Julia spent time walking around the block with us and helping us get a SIM card for our phone. She has supplied some food in the refrigerator that is great for a snack, breakfast, or even to make a sandwich if you buy some bread. I have a hard time sleeping so really appreciated the mattress that was very comfortable for me. The communications were always and clear. I think that in the listing it is mentioned that the noise outside of the apartment can be heard with the window open. Even on Saturday night when the partying went on until after 2am, we slept with the window open. With all there is to do in Rome, we were so tired that the voices from outside our window did not disturb us. If you need earplugs (which we did not use) they are supplied in the room. We would hesitate to stay here again.
