The apartment was in a nice area with lots of little bars and restaurants. There is a nice restaurant just below the apartment on the ground floor. Within walking distance of 15 mins to the major sites in Rome city itself. Point to note is that with big and heavy luggage, do take note that it is a 4 story climb up the stairs. Neighborhood feels safe as well. Jane and Mr Perluigi made for an easy check in and check out process too.
