This apartment is in a very secure building. There's a locked door before getting into the building from the street, and another locked door before entering the apartment units, as well as the locks on the apartment's door, of course. The location is ideal for those that would like a Roman living experience as there are many buses nearby, a tram and the rail station. There are bakeries, supermarkets and restaurants within walking distance. Our first day we walked half hour to the Colosseum. Our host was very friendly and helpful in answering all of our questions. The apartment was well equipped with everything you might need, such as an iron, towels, eating utensils and even a washing machine. The only heating unit is in the main room, the bedroom/living space and it did get quite chilly until it warmed up after a few hours. This section of Rome has many good restaurants, some within a five minute walk, two or three right downstairs, others a twenty minute bus ride. Worth it!
