The apartment was very clean and very cute. It's also on a fairly quite street. We met Fabio who let us in and gave us a general layout of the area. That process was very smooth! We had some small issues with the shower draining, but that was it.
As far as the area goes, it's a very long walk (or super complicated tram system) away from the major tourist sites. We found it was at lot easier to just cab it down to the Vatican, coliseum, and pantheon. There are some great restaurant by the apartment!
