EVEN BETTER IN PERSON! As all the other reviews have mentioned, this apartment is very roomy, attractive, and comfortable. Alvise is very responsive and knows the apartment thoroughly., and his neighborhood guide posted with the apartment details is very helpful. We are former city-dwellers who now live in the country, so we enjoyed being back in the city for awhile and knew to expect that Via Merulana is a busy street. We loved being in this part of town: hearing the S. Maria Maggiore bells, glimpsing the Colosseum through the Monti streets, being close to the subway at Cavour & Piazza VE2, walking down to the Forum, etc.
