The apartment is off-street, through a gate on the street, and very quiet with small front and rear courtyards. It's very light with a glass roof over the main living area and skylight windows for the bedrooms, as well as full air conditioning. All four bedrooms have their own bathroom. The kitchen is very modern. There isn't a TV in the main living room, but each bedroom has it's own and it's kind of nice as it makes the main area a quiet, comfortable and peaceful place where friends or a family can sit together and make plans for day trips. Location is great as it's a five minute walk to the metro, and four metro stops to the Colosseum, or a short bus ride, or a slightly longer walk. From that metro you can get all over the city to the major sights, there is also a bus stop close by that can get you into other parts of the city. Locally we found good places to eat, and the area itself has tourist attractions, just around the corner (literally, just around the corner!) - such as the oldest Christian church in Rome (on the pilgrim route), a liberation museum which housed Italian resistance prisoners in World War Two, and parts of the aquaduct structure from ancient Rome. Flaviana, our host, met us when we arrived and gave us many good tips on getting around and what to see. She also responded quickly to our questions and a couple of things we needed help with. We were a family of four there and were very happy with our stay.
