Based on all the reviews, we expected this apt. to be a wonderful base in Rome and were not disappointed. Cheery, light-filled real 2BR, 2BA apt. with small kitchen and sitting room. Everything you need as a tourist. Extremely comfortable after a long day of sightseeing. Beautiful views of the Tiber and Ministry of Justice.
Loved the location -- steps to the ghetto, Trastevere, even the Capitoline hill via the shortcut past Theatre of Marcellus -- an underrated marvel that is a perfect bookend to the Colosseum. The #8 tram and various buses are right out front.
Cappucino bar downstairs was the perfect place to start every day. Try the blueberry cornetto with your cappuccino and say hello to Luigi, a legendary barista.
Enjoyed the nearby restaurants: Il Giardina Romana, Pianastrada Laboratorio, and Osteria La Gensola. Don't miss Fatamorgana in Trastevere for the best gelato.
Easy walk to Campo de Fiori, Piazza Navona, Pantheon. Make a reservation at Armando's for lunch. The Forum and Colosseum are not far. To really see how ancient Roman elites lived, take a tour of Domus Romane di Palazzo Valentini - a one-of-a-kind excavation/virtual reality museum near Trajan's Column.
As others have said, because of the central location, you do hear the constant traffic and emergency vehicles but, if you bring earplugs, it's not a problem. I also needed eyeshades because the curtains in the master BR are sheer.
Communication with Annie was great (she also arranged our ride from the airport) and Manju showed us everything on-site. Appreciation to Signor Piperno for his hospitality. We felt honored to be staying at such a historic building in the heart of Rome's Jewish community.
