I have been often to this apartment hotel. It is located in a rather nice residential district (40 minutes by foot, downhill, to the Piazza St Peter).

The pros: 1) Just next to La Balduina train station, linked to the metro; 2) The various apartments are spacious and comfortable and there is a choice of sizes; 3) The staff is friendly and speak English; 4) there are three supermarkets within 5 minute walk; 5) There is an indoor swimming pool and underground garage.

The cons: 1) Being in a residencial district, there are few restaurants around the Mallia, if you don't want to prepare your food.
2) In the past, several foreign television stations were offered: CNN, BBCworld, TV5, TVE. As of January 2007 none are available.
