Yolanda was a wonderful host who made us feel extremely welcome. Her apartment was extremely clean, well-stocked with all the essentials (including a pizza slicer) to cook on a daily basis, and had extremely spacious living and eating areas for our group of 5. Plus, the apartment's location was incredible... A 10- minute walk to the Colosseum and Forum, and within 2.5 miles walk of every major sight in Rome (including th Vatican). We loved every minute of our stay in Rome thanks to Yolanda!

Three things to bring up for future travelers to ensure a pleasant stay. First, the bathroom is extremely small... And the shower is not suitable for folks over 250 lbs (115 kg), it's just not big enough. Know that going in, and you'll be fine.

Second, do NOT rent a car if staying here... It is in the ZTL (restricted traffic zone), and the only parking nearby is street parking (1 euro/hr) and extremely difficult to find. If exploring Italy by car after leaving Rome, take a taxi to the rental car office (with all your stuff) and save yourself the headache I dealt with.

Third, there is a bar/lounge adjacent to the apartment, so you may have some noise until 1am. Nothing horrible, just note that you're in central Rome, and there are lots of people around enjoying themselves, so expecting peace and quiet 24/7 is not realistic.
