If you are considering renting this apartment, please be aware that it is on street level and shares a wall with a popular wine bar, which is right next door. The stated hours of operation of the wine bar are 10AM - 2AM. In our experience the bar turned on their music between 3 and 4 in the afternoon and it played continuously from then on until 1 or 2 in the morning, and even later on the weekends. The music is so loud that it seems to be right in the apartment with you, and the volume seems to increase as the night goes on. There is also a foosball table in the bar, and the thumping and banging sounds that come from that also seem to be right in the apartment with you. Even after retreating to the bed in the basement with earplugs and a pillow over my head I was unable to go to sleep many nights until after 3AM. Giovanni was at first unresponsive when we complained about the noise, but later on admitted that it has been a problem and that there is nothing he can do about it. If you are a person that likes to stay out late every night partying, or if loud and continuous music doesn't bother you, then this might be the perfect place for you. Otherwise I cannot in good conscience recommend it. The apartment itself is charming and artistic, and you can walk almost anywhere in the city from here. We even walked to Vatican City - which was about 45 minutes one way. There are also a lot of great restaurants, bars and shops right outside the door. Giovanni was also kind enough to allow us to stay a few hours after the official check out time as we had a late flight, and we are grateful for that.
