Nicola’s home was an absolute dream! I think I spent hours just sitting by the window looking at the view and soaking it all up. If you are taking the metro, you are literally 5 minutes away from the apartment. From the home, you can walk to any of the sights - about 20 minutes. On the right of the Colosseum you’ll find Via dei Fori Imperiali; which is a road of ruins/ history- just spectacular. Everything you need is right there. Bars/ restaurants and even a little grocery store right across the street from the building. Don’t second guess- just book it.
Nicola is a wonderful host. Answers you right away and any questions I had, he was extremely helpful. I’m in Italy often and I WILL be coming back here.
