Just returned from Rome. The location of La Dolce Vita is ideal. Marvin is an ideal host who is extremely helpful. His directions were superb. Located less than 10 minutes from San Giovanni Metro Station. We used the Metro buy purchasing Single Ride Tickets which made sense to us. We walked to the Colosseum, Forum, Palatine Hill. From there we walked to Trevi Fountain and the Spanish Steps. Ride the Metro to Vatican, Sistine Chapel and St. Peter's. A tip: buy water, food and gelato at the Supermarket around the corner from the AirBnB. Lots of restaurants nearby. We recommend getting a Skip the Line tour to the aforementioned sites. The waiting lines were anywhere from 3-4 hours - enough said.
