The apartment was clean and well kept. The photos are accurate. The bathroom is tiny - especially with hubby being 6'4" - his knees hit the wall when he sat down! The noise is super loud outside! We heard garbage collection both nights from 2-4am, sirens were nearly constant and traffic was loud. We live in a small town, so this made it impossible for us to sleep. For people used to traffic noises, it probably would be ok. There are also 3 sets of stairs to get your luggage up - pack light! There is a lift right next to the stairs, but I suspect it doesn't work as we were not offered use of it to get luggage up the stairs. The location was very close to the metro and super easy access to all tourist locations! The colosseum was a 15-20 minute walk! The Vatican was a 15 minute train and few minutes walk. The metro is super crowded, so luggage can be difficult. If you are looking for location, this was great for easy access and good local restaurants!
