"Location was less than 2 mins walk from Trevi Fountain (which meant that it was basically walking distance to most of the popular locations around Rome)."

"Despite location very close to the always-thronged Trevi Fountain and streets that are virtually always busy, the apartment is quiet and removed from the hustle and bustle outside."
