The apartment was just what we were looking for: Surprisingly spacious, well equipped and conveniently located. It's a reasonable walk to the Vatican and sits along several bus routes. More importantly, the best gelato (Frigidarium) and pizza (Bafetta) in Rome are only a block away.

Christian is a great host and was very responsive. One toilet wasn't flushing when we arrived and he wasted no time in getting it fixed.

As others have said, there is quite a bit of traffic noise from the street. The front windows are double-glazed and they certainly help (it's much louder when they're open). Our 11-year old still slept very well in the front bedroom. The back bedroom is considerably quieter.

Only negative for us was the wifi was hit-or-miss during the last two days our stay (I think several units share one access point). Sometimes it worked like a charm, other times it was painfully slow - if we could connect at all.

All in all, Christian has a great apartment. If we come back to Rome we'd definitely stay here again.
