The apartment is in a secure building and as advertised, is 2 minutes from the Colosseum. Andrea provided very detailed information on travel prior to arrival and was on hand to show us around the apartment. Was a great base for us. We walked to Vatican city in about 40 minutes and the Colosseum and metro station in 2 minutes. We took bus from airport to termini and would recommend as long as not rush hour. Plenty of restaurants very close by and supermarket open 24/7 . Would highly recommend Andrea as a host and the apartment as a base.
