The apartments were rooms about three meters square, and each building housed about five hundred people.These tall buildings faced each other across streets only three meters wide, so no sunlight reached the ground. Even so, apartments were costly, though cheaper places could be had outside Rome. But people wanted to be near their work and entertainment.
