No trick photography here, Alfredo and Cecilia’s apartment truly is directly opposite the Colosseum! We were greeted personally by Cecilia at the apartment, who also arranged a driver to take us to the airport and gave us some local restaurant recommendations - exceptional service, the best of our 4 week Europe trip yet!
The apartment was well equipped, allowing us to prepare breakfast and a meal here or there, but mostly we ate out sampling the Roman food. Brewdog around the corner has great service and cold drinks and our meal at La Taverna Dei Quaranta about 500m away was unexpectedly delicious and good value. We saw all of Rome’s sights but nothing compared to the view of the most famous sight directly from the apartment’s windows. Thanks for having us, we had a fabulous stay.
