Thank you for the great stay!
I enjoyed the time, and like the way the apartment is furnished, also the central location is top notch: Spanish Steps, Trevi Fountain, Pantheon, Piazza Navona - you have all of those nearby!
It took us about 30-40 min by foot towards the Colosseum, I made the mistake to visit it within the hot 11:00-14:00 timeslot, it really finished me off because there is rarely any shadow on the way towards it.
That 24 hour ticket for (Colosseum + Palatine Hill + Forum Romanum) causes pressure to see all of it, and you would need every last bit of your power for the actual visiting!!
So if you intend to visit the Colosseum in summer, I'd strongly recommend to use the bus towards the Colosseum within that hot timeslot (1,50€ per ticket), it also saves energy to visit the Forum Romanum - which is a huuuge area.
You would also be too finished in the evening, to not use the Bus for a few stations back to the apartment.
I also recommend to use the buses towards the Vatican as well, there are long walks either and there is no chance to see all of it in just a few days - Rome is so magnific!
Its wise to book your tickets to both Colosseum and Vatican Museums beforehand or by the apartment's wifi in the day before - the User interfaces for booking are quite horrible so you wouldn't want to do that spontanious within the bold sun as we did XD
Critical feedback:
- I found the shower a bit annoying until I figured out that as soon I lower the water pressure over a certain point, the shower auto switches back to the small sprinkler. It also means you need a certain pressure to get the water into the large sprinkler.
I found myself pressing 30 times that button (the first 2 or 3 days) until I found out how to actually handle it.
- I measured the street beside of the apartment to be 40-50 decibel loud (by phone app), we heared at the morning - so I used a ear bung to silence it. A bit disturbing but not too bad.
- The Checkin was perfect! While others think its a lot - I do appreciate the detailed information :)
So overall I enjoyed my stay
