It is a nice apartment in a residential neighborhood, there are several stores and restaurants nearby. All the people we encountered were very friendly. Getting to the center is fairly easy, we mostly used trams to Termini. It can be crowded during rush hour - to be expected in a big city. But it was so quiet at night - nice! Irene was out of town when we visited, and Maria took care of us. Everything was wonderful, and we enjoyed our stay very much!
