If you are considering this place, book it!!! Menella, Irene's friend, was in constant contact with us from the time we left the US for Rome through an unexpected layover in Barcelona. She was awesome! We spoke to her about sightseeing and she recommended that we check out her tour company to see the Vatican. We took her advice and were SO relieved that we did. It was such a great experience. Menella is so sweet and very helpful. The apartment itself is in the PERFECT location. This is what a few blocks away from the Colosseum actually looks like. It has the best of everything and is on a peaceful and quiet street a few blocks away from a small piazza that has a bunch of great little cafes and small bars. We had a truly wonderful stay here, and would come back to this air bnb again! Grazie Mille!!
