Although this wasn't the area I planned on booking, Ana's place worked out perfectly. It's walking distance to the Colosseum, although the bus was a breeze to catch. The Manzoni metro stop, which is right around the corner,takes you directly to the Vatican and Piazza de Spagna areas. We walked all over from Spagna stop. Ana's apartment is extremely clean with fresh white linens. Having shower products helped so we didn't have to go to the market as soon as we arrived. The apartment has all you need to cook, however, we never ate in. Right on the street there are a couple pizza places. One we stopped for a quick bite before heading out and another for a late night snack. There is a coffee/breakfast place on the corner that had delicious pastries. There is also a market close by. Ana's assistant was waiting at the apartment for us when we arrived. Ana also arranged transportation from the airport to her place for 50 euros. The driver was waiting for us with a sign as we came out of the airport. I can't remember his name but he was lovely and drove a Mercedes. my family truly loved Rome and we're glad to have such a nice place to come back to after a long day of touring. The AC is incredible!!!! There are also pull down shutters if you want the place pitch dark to sleep in.
