This whole location is an adventure. The apartment is directly over the Piazza de San Giovanni where at least 5 streets converge Just watching the dance or chaos of the traffic can entertain endlessly. The traffic cop must have nerves of steel as she keeps everyone moving including the every five minute ambulance or police car. There is a bus stop directly out front with multiple different routes available. Though we didnt use the Metro, the Colosseum is truly only about 12 minutes away walking. We are in our seventies so a little slower. But that allowed us to notice all the little cafes, gelato places, shops, and every fifty feet sandwich shops.
With all the outside activity one would think it would be very noisy inside. But the apartment has very well insulated floor to ceiling windows/balconey doors so it is very quiet inside.
The apartment itself was very clean and the bathroom appears very new and spotless. Kitchenette is suffice for small meals. We wanted to steal the mattress. It is very comfortable. The main entrance to the building is a little quirky as you actually go through an "Alice" sized door within a very large door, into a center courtyard from which assorted doors offer access to the different stairwells. The elevator was great and though small was very secure feeling, as it held us and all our luggage.
Minor negative I am not sure why communication broke down re texting (could have been my North American phone), but we had two minor issues with bathroom fixtures Once I actually phoned instead of texting Patrizio resonded immediately and sent a collegue to fix the issues that evening. Patrizio does not exaggerate about the location. Great host in
