This apartment was a great location for us to explore Rome by foot. It was a 20 minute walk from Termini, a 5 minute walk to the Colosseum/Forum, and a 30 minute walk to Piazza Navona.

Franco was a great host. We especially appreciated how responsive he was when our stove ran out gas half-way through breakfast. He came right over to replace the tank and double-check that everything else was working.

There is a lot of noise from the busy intersection just outside the apartment (Romans love to honk, apparently), but a heavy set of blackout curtains over the entryway helped muffle the sound a bit.

The apartment is exactly as pictured in the listing (very spacious!), except that it's pretty dark because there are only two frosted windows at the front of the dining room. Not really an issue if you're out exploring the city during the day, though.

The internet worked really well until our last night in the apartment, when it was a little patchy.

There's a great restaurant next door -- Cafe Merulana, which was a godsend when we were tired from exploring and just wanted an easy dinner with zero planning. Highly recommend their negroni!

Overall, the apartment worked well for us, and we would recommend it to other travelers (who aren't adverse to street noise).
