This was our first stay in Rome and it was wonderful. The location could not have been better! We were at the Colosseum in less than 5 minutes and many other attractions in less than a 20 minute walk. The apartment was clean and as described. The only issue we faced was parking a rental car - this was not the fault of the host, it is just the product of a cramped down town Rome. If you are driving just be weary of parking.
