We decided to be in this area because it's not too touristy and yet not far from all the main historic places. We got the taste of 'local' feeling and there was a great bakery nearby that sells fresh bread every day :) Luca is a great host - gave us a detailed information before we arrived as well... And not to mention a recommendation for a great Tiramisu place :)
Whatever the description provided by Luca was correct - including about the noise for a nearby pub. But again, we only heard it 1 night (Saturday night) and did not really bother us as we are not light sleepers. Other than that, we enjoyed our stay at the apartment, and of course, Rome.
