The apartment was good for what we needed it for. It is a little out of the way if you want to be near the main attractions. We luckily figured out the buses and did a lot of walking as you are over the bridge and by the vatican. Most other sites you want to visit are quite a ways away. It is a small walk from the metro which was nice. Some good restaraunts around. Armando was relatively helpful. He did have us meet his housekeeper who does not speak any english so that made things a bit difficult. If you are looking for a cheap, nice place to stay and dont mind doing a bit of walking, taking the bus or paying for a cab then this would be it.
