You can see the Colosseum from the front door of the building! And if that wasn't cool enough- there are tons of great places to eat nearby as well as small shops and a pharmacy if you need small items. It is a sofa bed- buts it's really firm and the building is really cool- you can feel the history in it. Christopher was super responsive the whole time and offered great tips on things to see and when to go. Highly recommend staying here especially because we were never more than a 45 minute walk from most of Rome's major sights.
