LOCATION. LOCATION. LOCATION. Clean apartment, wonderful host and easy walking distance to major attractions, bus stop and basic needs. I have stayed in several apartments in Rome and this one is worth EVERY PENNY! Rome is a major city and therefore is expensive and active (i.e. noise). (General Rome/Apt notes: There was some construction across street, but did not bother us since it was between 8am and 5pm. This is the historic center of Rome and there is noise every day/night, being earplugs if you are sensitive to noise. Note: I did not have earplugs and had no issue sleeping.) Tip: Famous Cafe d'Oro near Pantheon (5 min walk) grinds small bags (100g) of fresh coffee for takeaway and has an auto-dispenser ouTside (did not try). Gelato & chocolate Venchi chain a few doors down, excellent. Lavinia is wonderful.
