This unit is one of three or four in a subunit of a building. This was our first trip to Rome and I have to say that the area this unit is in is not the most inviting. However, the people seem very relaxed and there are some nice restaurants around the neighborhood, especially a few blocks north. The metro station is very convenient and works well esp. with Roma pass (travel tip - some sights need reservations in advance). Once inside the apartment it is very nice and pretty updated. Definitely a great value to see Rome.
