Location, location, location - this place is the BEST place to stay in Rome, hands down! It is minutes to everything we wanted to see while we were in Rome. We had no need for public transportation. We walked everywhere - from the Colosseum to the Vatican. Because the place is so central, is can be a bit noisy at night with passersby, but it usually quiets down once we were heading to bed. The street is not on a main road, but a quieter side street. The apartment is small but had the basic amenities needed for our stay. In addition, Matilda was kind enough to help us coordinate an airport pick-up service when we first arrived!
