The place is retro and get a real feeling of ancient Rome. It's in a fantastic location, everything is about 15-20 mins walk. The only place we caught a bus to was Vatican City but even that we could have walked in about 40 mins.
There are plenty of restaurants around. I would highly recommend the cappuccinos, tiramisu and gelato ice cream!
As for the host Marco, he was fantastic, very friendly and welcoming. He helped with suggesting places to go and had a map for us which really helped. On the last night, I broke my door key at 00:30 and was locked out. Marco was very kind to come out to me and didn't even accept the money to replace the key! I don't know of many hosts that would have been so nice about being dragged out at around 1am! I cannot thank you enough for that!
I would recommend this apartment to anyone. Yes, there are cheaper ones out there but they won't be in such a good location with such a fantastic host, worth paying the extra!
