Overall: We enjoyed the fact that we were so close to the historic center of the city. We were able to walk to almost everything we wanted to visit and when we did not walk the subway, taxi stand and bus stop were all nearby. Enjoyed Most: The location. Enjoyed Least: It was not air conditioned so the windows had to be left open allowing in insects and noise from the street. Surrounding Area: Within a block of the apartment there was a grocery store and a number of decent restaurants. It was a little noisy since we had to leave windows open all night. Nearby Events or Locales: Rome is not a small town. Directions: We were met at the airport by a car and driver and I would recommend this highly. Once at the apartment a vehicle is not only unnecessary, but a problem.
