Location can’t be beat. We took two cabs during our week stay in Rome and that was because we had super early tour appointments. We are not marathoners either, two forty somethings with an seven year old and no walking complaints. Another plus is that right below you is a pizza shop and gelato place with drinks beer that stay open later. While my daughter slept my husband would sit on the ledge by the PAntheon having a beer and watching the crowd. If I needed to talk to him I just called out the window. Also I didn’t realize the Pantheon area was such a hangout and there were bands and singers there daily which you could hear from the apartment. To get a cab if we wanted we just walked to the Hotel Minerva next door where there were always cabs waiting. Yes the front living room bed can be a little loud at night but when I am in Rome I want to feel the energy so I liked it
