This apartment is just a few minutes walk ,or very efficient and convenient bus ride, outside the typical tourist staying areas in Rome and I think that really adds to the charm of the place. The view from the windows is across the tree lined street to the river and we saw some very nice sunsets from there. A note about the windows...I would feel insecure having small children near them when they are opened fully. Seems it could be a fall hazard from the 6th floor. There is, however, a way to open window from the top and not have this issue. The beds were very comfortable, the washer worked well, the host offered a full tutorial about the ins and outs of the apartment as well as tips for the area shops and restaurants. We frequently walked to the Avetino area, Trastevere, and the Colosseum in less than 20 minutes, but going further, I would suggest the bus that picks up a block away. The host will advise on the bus numbers and where to get tickets. There is also an elevator in the building, which is very helpful on move in day with bags. The neighborhood felt safe and local, even late at night. Occasionally we returned home after midnight. I would highly recommend a stay at this apartment for your travel to Rome.
