The apartment is exactly as described and is a perfect base for exploring all that Rome has to offer - we walked everywhere with our 5yo, including the Vatican and Colosseum (although we needed to take the Metro home, that was easy and accessible). Given its proximity to tourist hotspots, it is surprisingly quiet and is very safe. Giacomo is a generous and attentive host, readily sharing his knowledge and offering advice about things to see and do that were tailored to our interests. We highly recommend this apartment!
