The apartment is located in central Trastevere. The location is fabulous for bars, restaurants and small shops. A tour guide born and bred in Rome said that Trastevere (and Monti) are the best areas of Rome for food. The apartment is well paced for site seeing, 40mins walk from the Coliseum and 50minutes from the Vatican. The walks are worth it to see the city. There is a tram stop in Trastevere but the Metro is not in this part of Rome.
A great apartment for a sightseeing holiday or to see Rome at leisure.
There are three flights of steps up to the second floor apartment but they are like stairs in a house, not strenuous (except carrying your bag).
