We would 100% recommend staying in Rocco's apartment. It's ideally located in Rome (about a 10 minute walk from the Colosseum) and you can walk to all of the other places you want to see. Rocco was a great host and was in contact with us up to our arrival. He has thought of everything; there is a breakfast bar,stocked fridge, towels, hair dryer, sewing kit, bottle opener....everything! It's less than a 10 minute walk from the Termini and very easy to find!
