For context, my Italy background is that I travel to Italy every year for vacation, and lived in Naples and Formia for several years when I was a boy. I was in Susanna's apartment for 9 nights. There are at least 10 hotels within easy walking distance of Susanna's apartment. All of those hotels will cost you more, and give you a room about the size of a closet. Others have commented on street noise here. If you cannot handle street noise, then do not visit Rome. Perhaps go to Tuscany and look at grapevines all day. Trust me, looking at grapevines in Tuscany is boring. Maybe that's why they drink so much wine up there. Rome is never boring, and Susanna's apartment is perfect. I had a few chances to use the A/C, and it seems to work really well. Americans take A/C for granted, but it's not to be taken for granted in Italy. During my trip, my father was in the Hotel Colonna around the corner, and he had to deal with a room that was 29 degrees overnight (84F). If you want to visit Rome, and don't stay in Susanna's apartment, then you are senza speranza.
