The pictures are exactly how it is. The location is great if you want to be in a lively part of Italy, it's about a 40 minute walk to the colosseum but since you are walking everywhere it doesn't seem far at all. Not too far from the airport or the train, one short cab ride and you're there. Lorenzo arranged a taxi for us when we left which made traveling a breeze. He also allowed us to check in early for a small fee. Very nice apartment I would suggest it to anyone. Just a note is that it's up about 3 small flights of steps but if you can't carry your luggage someone can help!!
