LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION! The apartment is in the best place - you are practically in the Forum! We walked to every site - including Vatican! There are plenty of restaurants and shops near by. So if you want to be central then this is your place. Hosts were very friendly and shared a good amount of information about the area and Rome. Apartment was spacious, clean and comfortable. I didn't realise when I booked that it was a basement flat - with the bedroom is on 1st floor. It worked well for us though!
