We had an absolutely lovely time staying at "Your Place by the Colosseum"! As the name suggests, the apartment is a 2 minute walk away from the Colosseum. This makes it very accessible by public transport (both buses and the metro). The neighborhood in which the apartment is located is surprisingly quiet - in a good way. Despite only being a few hundred meters from one of Rome's biggest tourist attractions, the local bars and restaurants, have a very authentic and local feel.

The apartment itself is lovely and as described in the listing. You are greeted with a spacious living and dining area, complete with a well equipped kitchen with everything you need to cook your own meals, should you wish. There are 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, which made it ideal for our stay (2 couples). The sofa folds out into a bed, so 6 would fit comfortably.

Free WIFI is available, which was essential for our trip planning!

Francesca and Roberta were absolutely delightful to deal with from the very beginning. From our initial inquiry, they were very happy to answer any questions we had. Closer to our arrival, they provided us with clear directions as to how to get to the apartment including transport options and likely costs.

Once we arrived we were greeted by Francesca and Roberta's delightful mother. She showed us into the apartment where Francesca and Roberta had left 5 pages of bar and restaurant suggestions nearby, and throughout Rome. We tried a number of them - all were brilliant. They also left us with directions to the nearest supermarkets as well as banks/hospitals etc.

All in all, an awesome stay! Highly recommended to those who want an authentic Rome experience, while being right in the middle of it all!

A huge thank you to Francesca and Roberta for making us feel so welcome and at home!
