This a small, spare apartment located in a small street or alley, a vicolo. The location is ideal, just about three hundred metres from the Quirinale, the presidential palace. I know Rome fairly well, and i wanted a place which would give me easy access on foot to the main parts of the city and to the Madonna dei Monti district where I visited the palestra or gym almost everyday. So, this location was perfect. I also appreciate the fact that shopping at the local CO-OP was easy. Also, I used the library at Saint Thomas Aquinas University, which was ten minutes away by foot. The local neighborhood has its own particular charm and from my point of view was not too noisy. However, within the building the noise from people in other apartments slamming their doors and sometimes talking loudly was bit of a problem. Also when people leave early in the mornings, as they descend the stairs with their heavy suitcases, they are not always respectful of the people who are still sleeping.
These problems are not so significant, however, that I would hesitate to return to the very same apartment in the future. I am grateful to Jimmy and to Marco for the experience that I had.
