This was an amazing spot. The apartment is lovely and spacious, with very charming decor. We loved the street, very low traffic and residential but convenient to lots of sights and services (very near but off of a busy street). Rome is fantastic but as everyone knows there are lots of tourists and we were so happy to be in a real residential neighborhood a bit out of tourist central. We used public transit easily -- the Metro and tram are very easy to walk to and the 81 bus which goes to the main tourist areas including the Vatican was just at the end of the street. We liked the So & So Bar on the corner for our morning cappucinos and had lunch one day at Lunch Music a little local spot within a block of the apartment. We also enjoyed eating at Hosteria Cannavota , Romolo e Remo and the Place (Sacco Bistro) also within easy walking distance. The apartment is walking distance to Monti, San Giovanni, Celio, the Circus Maximus, the Colosseum, Aventine Hill etc. Sandro was great, he was waiting for us when we arrived and he arranged a taxi for us when we headed to the airport. We were two women ages 80 and 58 (mother/daughter) and loved each having our own bedroom. The apartment is just up a half flight of (wide stairway) stairs and was easy for my Mom. We felt safe walking in the evening. We will ABSOLUTELY stay here again when we return to Rome!
