Our family of four adults had a great time in Rome and are very happy we chose Colosseo Street House as our home for the week. Giovanni is a great host. He booked a cab (€ 50 fixed rate) from the airport for us, so we had a stress-free ride to the apartment. The apartment is clean, comfortable and cool (we visited in late May). The bedrooms are spacious, so there is plenty of room for your things, even if you are staying for an extended time. We appreciated having the space to relax after a full day of site seeing. As others have mentioned, bring a sleeping mask if you need it dark when you sleep because the street light shines in the window at night. Bring or purchase your own shampoo, lotion and bath soap. The location is great-- close to the Colosseum metro stop and walking distance to all the sites, assuming you are used to lots of walking and have comfortable shoes. Comfortable shoes are a must no matter where you stay because you will be walking on cobblestones much of the time! There is a nice grocery store (Supermercato Elite) on via Cavour, about a five minute walk. Walk past San Pietro in Vincoli (St. Peter in Chains), down the covered stairs, and then turn right on via Cavour. It was convenient for us to stock up on breakfast items, snacks and beverages. I enjoyed coffee in Bar de Mose, the cafe below, and my sons liked getting take-out panini from Caffe dello Studente, which is just around the corner, across from the park.
