Proximity to everything is the attraction here. If you are committed to the unabashed tourist holiday in Rome- as I was on this trip- you will love this place. It's a funky old school loft vibe in a historic building. And yes; the coliseum is right out on the balcony. It gets quiet and cools down late at night. It's an interesting refuge out there with that massive thing looming.
Elena, was an added bonus. Typically the AirBnB hosts don't personally greet these day in my experience.
Elena pulled up on a little scooter and flashed me a beautiful smile and I loved it. I usually find my own way around, but the way she delivered her Rome sightseeing recommendations- well, we had to follow. She also knows a lot of good bars and restaurants. She'll size you up- and send you on your way.
I highly recommend the experience and I would stay again.
