great location within walking distance of the coloseum, Roman forum as well as eateries and the gay bars as well as many churches and san clemente archeological site. very close to the metro for quick access to the Vatican and villa Borghese. host was very helpful explaining our location and how to get around. the apartment is also overlooking a picturesque courtyard so you a shielded from the noise of the busy streets of Rome. overall a great place to stay while getting to know Rome.
