Massimo's and Giorgio's apartment in Travestere is a perfect location to return after a day of walking and sightseeing. The community there is quite lively but the apartment is slightly removed on Ugo Bassi and allows for relaxation. Everything you need is nearby. Our hosts went out of there way to make sure we were comfortable and taken care of.
Check the time of year that you plan to visit if warm weather is an issue. We had a fan that was perfect in the bedroom and air conditioning in the living/dining area but only when necessary.
It was a GREAT first trip to Rome and we will be back.
