Valentina's apartment is small but a real charmer, and it's very well-equipped with everything you might need. The location is great, on a quiet street but very close to the Colosseum, the Forum, two Metro stations, several restaurants, and a corner store. An excellent gelateria, Fatamorgana, is only a five-minute walk down the street, Termini station is a 15-minute walk, and most sights in the historic center are a 20-40 minute walk. A great home base for Rome adventures that doesn't break the bank.
