Our host (Laura's husband, Carlo) greeted us at the apartment and showed us around. It is one of four apartments in a block of units on the third floor of a secure, residential building in a residential neighborhood. Recently remodeled, clean and modern, very secure behind fire doors. We appreciated the washing machine and hung our clothes on the balcony to dry. The kitchenette has everything you might need but coffee, but there's a cafe around the corner and a supermarket a block up the street.

The location is an easy half-mile walk from the "movida" of Trastevere, a mile from the Colosseum, and almost 2 miles from Vatican City. It's quiet, in spite of its being pretty central.

Laura's apartment was a great homebase for our visit to Rome. Highly recommended!
