The host Flora let us check in early at 9:30 am. after an overnight flight. Centrally located walking distance to all the sights Coliseum, Vatican, Pantheon. We did not use public transportation. She ordered a taxi to the airport for us. Which was helpful. The apartment is small, the shower stall is tiny. Flora suggested advance purchase tickets to the Coliseum, which saved us time and she printed them out which very helpful.
