You cannot beat this location! It was in the heart of all the sights in Rome within reasonable walking distance and also close the Rome subway. The Colosseum/ancient Rome was a 10 minute walk down the road.

We were a bit confused that it was one bedroom with a pull out sofa in the living room being the 2nd bedroom. That said, the 2nd bed WAS comfortable and there was a door to close it off for some privacy.

It was old, but the area of Rome is old. It was very clean and fully stocked kitchen with both a clothes washer and dish washer. The A/C worked PERFECTLY and kept us nice and cool.

Barbara and Luca were excellent hosts. They had a couple of cold drink choices/snacks in the fridge to greet us when we arrived and they took the time to show us a map of the apartment location in relation to the tourist sights. They also arranged the car to take us to the airport at the end of our stay.

We would definitely recommend this location and these warm hosts if you want to do Rome on a budget.
