This is our first trip to Italy and Rome, and we are glad that to make Apartment Colosseo our home for 5 of our 9 days in Italy. We stayed for 3 days at the start & 2 days at the end of our trip. Ilaria & her brother Giacomo were present to check us in & walk us through all the details. The apartment is very clean & tastefully decorated as listed. All the amenities were provided (American coffee, moka coffee, cinnamon bread, toasts, orange juice, mineral water, hair dryer, shampoo, etc.) The internet connection (wifi) was excellent. The bedsheets were very clean, plenty of bath towels. There were a couple of times when we needed help with adjusting the heat in our apartment & Ilaria was very quick in returning our call & giving the precise instructions for us to get the water heater tank operate. The first time we just had to adjust the timer to have the tank running a couple of hours longer. The second time we forgot how to turn it on! On our second stay, Ilaria made sure to get our arrival time in Rome & her brother Giacomo was at the apartment as soon as we arrived to check us in.

We also appreciate the convenient location of the apartment,
which is a pleasant 5-8' walk from the Colosseo station on line B of the Rome Metro. It's also a 2-3' walk to the bus stop on Via Labicana, where you can take Bus #87 to all the sights in the city's historical center (Circus Maximus, Capitoline Museum, Vittorio Emanuele Monument, Pantheon, Piazza Navona, etc.). A Ciuri-Ciuri gelato shop is right across from the bus station on Via Labicana. A supermarket (Sisa) is about a 10' walk from the apartment. A nice local coffee shop (owners from Naples, hence the 081 name), 081 Caffè on Via Merulana is 5' walk. Also, while only a short walk from the Colosseum & bus station, the apartment is on a very quiet street and the building itself is very quiet inside. Ilaria also provided a large 3-D map of Rome to help us navigate to all the sights.

Overall, we are very happy with our stay at Ilaria's apartment. It was a very positive experience for us, making our first trip to Rome that much more pleasant. Ilaria and her brother Giacomo were very helpful & responsive. I would definitely recommend Apartment Colosseo for its convenient but quiet location, cleanliness, amenities, and excellent host.
