We enjoyed our stay at Michele’s very much. We opted to use the bus to get back and forth from the center. The city bus was about 20-25 to the train and coliseum. We ended up using the hop on/off bus which has a stop within a 20 minute walk from the apartment. There are lots of groceries, restaurants, cafes within 5 minute walk.
The apartment is very large with plenty of space for group of five. The kitchen was well stocked both pantry and equipment. There is a washer and drying rack on the balcony (clothes dried very fast in Rome, sometimes not the case when traveling). I would definitely stay here again and recommend Michele’s place.
