The apartment itself is new and had all the necessary amenities besides dishwasher and 2 balconies with the view to greenery. The bed was comfortable, but the bed linen was dark color. There is free parking and a secure underground garage place which is a big plus for Rome. The apartment building, however, is shared with a hotel, and it was often very noisy at night (thin walls). There is a metro station nearby, but th walk to it is not very pleasant along the busy street on a very narrow sidewalk. The supermarket is about a 10-minute walk away. The host Giulio was responsive and left us a small welcome/happy New Year gift.
