Laura's place is perfectly situated. Just a few stops on the underground from the main station and no more than a 20min walk from the Colosseum. The area around the apartment is great, lots if cafes and restaurants, but not overly tourist-ie. We stayed in summer (July) and were very glad for the air conditioning and easy access to all kinds of public transport so we didn't spend too much time in the sun. Laura is an incredible host - I would reccomend following any of her suggestions as to what to do/where to go, everything she suggested was superb. The house does have four cats, which may not suit some, but they are all incredibly friendly. Thoroughly reccomend staying here!
