We were first time in Rome and were positively impressed to find that it's walking distance to all major sightseeing points in Rome. Vatican was just 10 mins to walk! Area around apartment is very quiet with few good local restaurants and supermarket few minutes away. Apartment has inner yard were we had dinner every evening. It was cozy and recreational after days spent in Rome with loads of tourists and all noise produced :) We were 5 and it was comfortable split into 3 bedrooms. However living room is small and we had our morning coffee and dinners outside in the yard.
