The apartment is really stunning, just as beautiful as the photos suggest. We felt like we were staying in a massive suite in a 5 star hotel. It was very spacious and well equipped, with plenty of thoughtful touches, including coffee pods, guide books and laundry powder.
The Location was great; 3 minutes walk from the metro, which was very easy to use and navigate. Do be careful of your valuables on the metro though -my husband had a girl try to take his wallet from his pocket.
It was possible to walk to the colosseum from the flat, but it takes a good half hour and with the amount of walking you will be doing around the sites of Rome I’d suggest you take the metro, especially if you are travelling with children.
Flavia the host is wonderful, quick to respond with wonderful English. She was at the apartment to meet us and was sweet and charming, despite us being late - she even left us a delicious fruit tart for us, which our boys adored.
We would love to visit Rome again one day and would certainly choose to stay here again. I’d highly recommend it.
