Location, location, location! The apt is perfectly centered in the thick of Roma, literally a block or two away from many different shops, cafes, taquerias, gyms, and even department stores and a cineplex, yet it manages to be tucked off of a quiet back lane about 30 seconds away from the hustle and bustle. While you won't hear much street noise, neighbors and dogs are audible through the (typically) thin walls. But I never had any problems with noises at night. The only drawbacks are the tiny size of the bathroom and the low light levels (the latter can actually be a blessing for sleeping in). I would stay here again.
