Arriving at Nick's apartment was so easy due to his very detailed directions and Elmo, the apartment caretaker, was waiting for us as arranged. If you are looking for luxury this isn't it however the apartment is large by Roma standards, it is clean and has everything you need including a washing machine. If you are a family or a small group you couldn't find better value in Rome. It is vibrant, as described, which means constant traffic noise but the proximity to buses, supermarkets, restaurants, local bars and shops makes up for this, and it is Rome after all, a vibrant, busy city.
