So my wife absolutely loved our ten day stay. The apartment is only a few blocks from the Coliseum, Forum, Palatine Hill, great restaurants and shops. That's going down the block, if you head up your only a few blocks from the sacred steps and the Catholic churches must holy place. Right next door to the apartment is Eugene and Vivienne's coffee, pastry and pasta shop. This is a must try! My wife and I enjoyed must of our morning coffee and pastries here. One other recommendation if your planning on touring the Coliseum purchase your ticket in advance online.
