We very much enjoyed the apartment, for many reasons. Our host Andrea met us on time and made us feel truly welcome. The location is superb, close to most of the museums and sites we wanted to visit, so much so that we could drop in on the apartment mid-day for a break. The street noise is minimal, perhaps limited to the sweeper that runs by frequently to polish the street.

The apartment itself is as charming as the photos would lead you to believe, very clean and well-organized. We made good use of the washing machine. The only real drawback, as others have pointed out, is that you can hear people walking on the floor above. Although there is a lack of natural light in the apartment, that was a decent trade-off, if known in advance. I will recommend the apartment to friends.
