Maddalena's place is in a perfect location. Colosseum, Forum and Palatine Hill just down the street, about a 10 minute walk. Nearby grocery store, plenty of good restaurants, bars, gelaterias. Easy access to metro, tram and bus. Safe neighborhood. Maddalena greeted us promptly, was friendly and welcoming. She gave an excellent overview of the apartment and the neighborhood. We ate at both restaurants she recommended and they were wonderful. Highlights were the espresso machine, very comfortable bed, great shower, fast and stable wifi. Only five stairs up to the door of the flat, but this might be a problem for people in wheelchairs or with mobility issues. We highly recommend the Roma pass good for free or reduced rate to sites and all public transportation. The tram stops right on the street a couple of blocks down from the apartment and the apartment is also between two metro stops each within 6-10 minutes away. Easy access to Termini station just two metro stops away. We had no need for taxis except upon our arrival. Highly recommend walking down the street to see the colloseum lit at night. All in all a wonderful stay and we would not hesitate to recommend it.
