We had a lovely welcome from Alessandra when we arrived. We liked the bedrooms best. They were comfortable and airy. The air conditioners throughout the apartment are very efficient.Unfortunately there is no sitting room area, only a very small two seater couch in the kitchen.If there is four of you, two, will be sitting on kitchen chairs. In all fairness Alessandra did tell me it was a small couch but there is no photograph of it, so it was hard to picture it. Having no comfortable area to relax after the day was a drawback for us and we did have to relax in the bedrooms instead.The area where the appartment is located is a residential suburb. There is good transportation links into the city to see the landmarks of Rome.Locals were friendly and food was good. There is a rubbish issue in the immediate streets in this area. It was unpleasant to walk past in the heat. Overall the apartment is quiet and peaceful. If you want a local cultural experience then this is a great place.
