I'm not sure if we could have done better, but we definitely could have done a lot worse. The apartment is 100% as advertised, so, not much to add there. Not that it was cramped, but would probably feel a lot more roomy with only two adults or two adults and a child versus the four adults that we had. We found the informational binder provided to be helpful and one of the places that I had seen on Yelp!, and was curious about, happened to be one of their recommendations (Bonci Pizzarium). After trying it, I recommend Bonci, too! There's a sit-down restaurant just outside the main door that was decent with good, friendly service. A gem that we found, Borghiciana Pastificio Artigianale, is only a 7 minute walk away! The Vatican and St Peter's Basilica are not much further. Trevi Fountain, the Pantheon, Spanish Steps and the other sights in that area are a bit of a hike (15-20 min leisurely walk), but very doable. You will need the bus/metro for the Coliseum/Forum/Palatine Hill, in my opinion, though. In fact, those were the only things we used the bus/metro for and we were able to walk to everything else. All in all, a great location, a great apartment, and a great host!
