The layout of the apartment is perfect for two people. The size and layout of each room is easy to move around and utilize the space. The sofa is a bit tired, if we were staying longer I would have been tempted to purchase a sheet or blanket to put on it. It didn’t feel very clean.
The windows let in a lovely amount of light, but as the weather was perfect when we were here (70’s during the day, 60’s at night) it was great to have the windows open. The down side of that was being close to the tram it was very noisy - not as often at night, but the tram does run throughout the night and the squeaky noise woke us up often. Big cities are typically noisy and there may be noisier sections of Rome, but I wouldn’t describe this area as super quiet. Maybe if you are running the ac or heating there would be white noise that would help cover the outside noise.
It was wonderful to have the amenities of a few kitchen things - we made salad twice, and were grateful to not have to buy a large container of balsamic when we didn’t need much. We found a Conad supermarket close by and learned that you have to weigh the fruit and vegetables before you get to the checkout. Learning curve.
There are many wonderful shops nearby - the bakery mentioned in other reviews is incredible! We also found an amazing butcher where a food tour was coming to just as we were leaving. No wonder - the porcetta, prosciutto and salami were delicious! Lots of great little restaurants nestled in the winding back streets.
Once you got to the river it was easy to navigate around the city and we enjoyed walking over several of the bridges.
