This place is in a fantastic location, close to metro, colosseum, etc. Couldn't get much better. The alleyway is very rough though, lots of graffiti and glass/bottles, and can be quite a few people sitting down there drinking at night. However, we found the place to be very safe and it felt safe. It was less noisy than other places in central cities we've stayed (e.g. London, Edinburgh). There are 3 flights of stairs, but Luca carried our bags for us on the first day. After that, no worries. The washing machine was broken, but Luca arranged for us use the one in the apartment downstairs. The apartment is very spacious and the beds were comfortable. However, the kitchen is small (NB. no microwave) and there were some little frustrations if staying for a number of days (we stayed 6 nights) that could easily be fixed eg no plugs for sink, toaster didnt work, no soap, TV remote needed new batteries, could have done with extra pillows, blankets. So, not quite the value for money we've seen in other places. The location and the spaciousness would mean we'd probably stay again.
