A wonderful home base for your Rome adventures! The location was ideal, on main bus routes and the train is a short 5 minute walk away. There are several convenience stores within walking distance and a more substantial grocery store is also not far. There are a number of restaurants to choose from very close and the panini shop down the street should not be missed. The only correction I might make is to use Piazza del Popolo as the primary location descriptor. On our first night we were treated by a concert and fireworks ~ a truly amazing experience and all from the comfort of home, avoiding the substantial crowd from below. Amazingly, despite it's prime location, this was the quietest location (of the 3 my family stayed in) during our Italian travels. 2 cribs for our small children was also amazing, and uncommon. Alessandro could not have been more hospitable, meeting us at the apartment right after we arrived directly from the airport, helping to get our luggage up to the apartment and providing space in his storage area downstairs so we did not have to negotiate our stroller into the very small elevator. He was also helpful in making transportation arrangements for an early Vatican tour. Overall a great experience.
