Our choice of this magnificent place was inspired mostly by the view of the colosseum from the roof deck, but the location was also a factor. We stayed long enough to take advantage of the best of Rome’s markets, bringing the finest cheeses, cured meats, bread, and wines back to the apartment to eat on the outside table in (literally at times) the shadow of the colosseum. Those times were heavenly.
The refrigerator in most Italian homes is not the modern marvel that is the one here, and the stove is an excellent one. The rest of the kitchen equipment is adequate for the needs of most visitors. Since we ate most of our meals in restaurants, we lacked for nothing. Bathrooms were nice, and everything was perfectly clean.
Check-in and check-out were problem free, and cards of local shops and recommended restaurants are on the mantel. Our hostess presented us with some pastries from Baker Boss (a pasticceria a few doors down), and they were so good we got our pastries there almost every morning and ate them on the deck.
