Via Frattina 41 is an incredible value with a great location, located in an area and on a street that does not have automobile traffic. It is located a few minutes walk to the Spanish Steps (Piazza Spagna) and a metro (subway) train station. The apartment is large, clean with decent furnishings - it is not luxurious, but comfortable. Giulio was our host - great and responsive. Among the things that one should now:
* it is four floor walk-up
* the apartment is one large room with a kitchen and bathroom down a hallway. The main bed and two roll-away beds (located in closets so they're normally out of site) are in the one large room.
* queen-sized bed is average - sags in the middle, but we slept well
* there are no carpets and you can here footsteps above and voices/babies crying/etc. from adjacent units
* there is street noise. The area is in the fashion district and is beautiful for both locals and tourists. A *lot* of people walk and talk and with the windows open, it is noisy. But: the windows are excellent and mask a lot of the noise. In addition, there are window panels which cover the glazing of the window, which shut out almost all the noise - great design.
* lots of coffee shops and restaurants, so you don't have to go far.
* the window system also can make the room almost pitch black - great for sleeping late.
* no air conditioning. Not sure this is a good summer apartment for tourists. Heating was excellent in the apartment
* extremely safe - we walked everywhere - especially in this neighborhood - a lot of police and carabinieri (federal police) were present.
* we has an early morning flight and a taxi did come in front of the apartment. According to the driver, cabs can drive very early in the morning.
