This apartment is about 5 minutes away from the Colosseum and there is a ruin at the end of the street-it doesn’t get more authentic than that. We loved the neighborhood and Lorenzo was extremely helpful and allowed us to extend check-out by one hour and helped us find a place to store our luggage. The apartment is small, but clean and is great for two people. We did sleep with the windows open and the apartment faces the interior courtyard which was a little loud with the birds and the neighbors yelling, but with the windows closed it may be quieter. Overall the stay was wonderful and I would highly recommend.
