The house is 2-3 walking blocks from train station which was ideal to venture to nearby cities. Grocery store on corner and pharmacy on the next. A lot of very nice restaurants on next block. I was traveling with my kids (10/15) and felt safe. Metro nearby by within a couple of stops to Spanish steps and coliseum. Host was very attentive. Pictures of apartment are accurate but felt smaller than I had imagine but still had plenty of room for our entire party of 7 people. I would recommend.
