This apartment was a great location and a very nice space for our 5 night stay in Rome. You are an 8 minute walk from the Colosseum! And you are staying where other Italians live and work......I loved that. There was a fun impromptu Italian party on the weekend about a 3-4 minute walk from the entry way, at a small piazza with a fountain. Lots of little eateries and gelato on your street, with the Metro station a very convenient 4 minute walk from the apartment. I never felt uncomfortable walking around here, even late at night by myself (woman in her 50's). I really enjoyed the vibe of this area.......there weren't any souvenir shops here! The apartment is well stocked for cooking, which we did quite a bit. Really enjoyed the art, the small touches, loved the bathroom tile. A nice shower. Your apartment is quiet, although you can hear a bit of street noise sometimes, but as we almost never got to bed before midnight there wasn't too much of that. The most wonderful thing is how helpful Serena is! She made our stay so much more enjoyable, with those suggestions that only a local that really loves her city can give. I felt like there was a helping hand out there if we ever really needed it, and went to a couple of wonderful things I would never have found without her. Thank you Serena, we appreciate all your friendly help! We loved our time in Rome.......Ciao! Ross and Robin
