I stayed at L'Arca for 4 days in May 2010.
Location: very convenient in terms of getting there from/to Termini and only several bus stops from the Spanish Steps and all the tourist action. The flat is located on a quiet street near a bountiful market and small restaurants/cafes. Getting home by taxi from the centre cost me only 10 euros. It is also a 30 min slow walk to the park.
The room: very comfortable, spacious with a colonial feel. My personal bathroom was right next door which was absolutely fine. Everything was spotlessly clean although I have never met the person who does all the cleaning.
The kitchen is well equipped and although I haven't used it at all, the couple next door was cooking there all the time and looking very pleased. I got my morning coffee and food from a small but popular cafe right across the road.
I would thoroughly recommend this place to anyone. I will certainly stay there during my next visit to Rome.
