This apartment was extremely clean and well appointed. It is about a block off a main traffic artery which cuts down on the traffic noise but allows excellent access to public transport. There is a main entry containing the washing machine which was a bit finicky and European sized and although the provided iron worked well, the ironing board is a table top variety. The entry also possesses two doorways each with good locks that lead into two separate areas; one has the typical kitchen/ dining/ couch/TV area and two bedrooms -one ensuite and one with the bathroom immediately next door. Both bathrooms are of good size with North American sized showers. The other area leading from the entry hall extends into a social area with dining table, couch and TV but no kitchen. Attached are two ensuite bedrooms which remained locked for our stay so I did not have the opportunity to view them, but our bedroom - with bathroom immediately next door - led to a very nice sized balcony with comfortable outdoor furniture and a fold-up laundry drying rack. All the beds are comfortably new and there is adequate storage in each bedroom. There are roll down window shades which block potential sunlight well and the website pictures are completely accurate. The stove is induction which precludes the use of the typical Italian coffee maker but there is a coffee shop downstairs (Pasticceria Sicilliana Svizzera Roma). We did find the pasticceria (Il Pappagallo) across both main streets and a block to the right on via Anatasasio was of better quality. The Ferro e Ghisa restaurant further down the Circonvallazione Aurelia was a nice casual establishment which we had visited on a previous trip and enjoyed twice this time. This location was ideal for us as our son was attending a conference at the Crown Plaza (20 minute walk away) and yet close to buses which ran often towards the Vatican and on to Centro Storico. These, as well as Trastavere, are within walking distance if you are fit; I am in my sixties and four years ago I had walked one evening from this general area to Termini and back but I do not recommend attempting so with children. The Metro station Baldo degli Ubaldi looks close on the map but is separated from the apartment by hills and is thus a longer walk than it appears; take one of the frequently running buses. Check in was smooth and without incident and Catia responded quickly to our requests.
