The apartment was very close to the Campo Dei Fiori market - this is a lively area with many restaurants and a lot of activity. The apartment was furnished nicely and the host provided welcome gifts of travel size body wash, shampoo, lotion, and kitchen items (dish soap, sponge, towel) which was very nice of them. The ac, wifi and washing machine worked great. Those not accustomed to a "vintage" home may find the small shower, and condensed kitchen layout strange but we weren't cooking and the water pressure was great! As stated in other reviews, there is a wine bar adjacent and on the ground floor and it does sound like they are in the same room with you, but it seemed to close by 11pm or so and it never bothered us or kept us awake. Very close to the Vatican area, and we pretty much walked to all the sights easily.
