Vera's apartment was a great place to stay in Rome. It is very clean, quiet and the location was perfect for us. It is walking distance to the Colosseum and all the other great sites in Rome (15 -20 mins). It is across the river from Travestere and there are plenty of buses at your doorstep if you don't feel like walking. What we loved is that we lived amongst the locals but still close to all the action. The recommendations in Vera's book for restaurants were spot on and greatly appreciated. The bed and sofa bed were extremely comfortable for a family of four and the amazing air conditioning was a huge bonus in Rome in July. We loved Vera's apartment and would highly recommend to anyone looking at staying in Rome. Molto grazie Vera!
