I visited Lauro's apartment in mid August, and it was a perfect base for our three nights in Rome. It is in a very lively area of Trastevere, with several interesting bars and restaurants on the same block. That being said we found no problem with street noise when we finally did want to go to sleep. The apartment itself was clean and had everything we needed, with very effective air conditioning and two bathrooms. We loved our stay here and thought it was great value for money. Thanks Lauro.
