Overall: We enjoyed our stay overall. Enjoyed Most: The location was very convenient to the main areas in Rome and not too far from the Metro.The size of the bedrooms was very nice and the arrangement was comfortable.The couch was comfortable for sitting.Kitchen was workable and had enough pots and pans, dishes and cutlery. Enjoyed Least: I know that the mattresses in Italy are not like those in America, but the mattress was very hard and I had to use one of the comforters to pad it so I could sleep.The mattress on the sofa bed was very worn and there was no support, so my son kept falling through. He is tall, but not heavy. Fortunately, there was a roll-away bed and so he took the mattress off the bed and slept on the floor on the mattress.The chairs in the bedroom were also worn. Editor's Note: The sofa bed was replaced Dec 2011. Surrounding Area: Again, the location was convenient. The street was for the most part quiet. There was a grocery store about 1 block away and a cappuccino bar just around the corner. Tips or Restaurants: We had a very nice dinner at a restaurant called Abruze. It was just around the corner from the Church of St. Philip and St. James. It was about 4 blocks from the apartment.
