Our family of 10 ranging from ages 5-76 enjoyed our stay. We disembarked from a cruise early in the morning, and took a tour before checking in to Elisabetta's place. We had an issue with our private minibus breaking down shortly before dropping us off, and Elisabetta was understanding with our delayed check in. We spent a lot of time in the apartment unwinding after being constantly on the go during the cruise. There are restaurants/grocery store nearby to pick up food - Pasta Chef and the gelato/pastry shop across the street (I think Ciuri Ciuri) - were our favorites. Plus the panini shop on Via Leonina. The Colosseum and Forum were within easy walking distance for everyone in our group. We explored up the large staircase, past the vine covered building to see Michelangelo's Moses statue and St. Peter's chains at the Basilica di San Pietro in Vincoli - unassuming church from the outside. Our mobility issues required us to take taxis or Uber to see sites that were further away. Recommend going to the main street to get taxi/Uber. One Uber driver cancelled on us because he couldn't find our location. AC was great to come back to after our short explorations. We also took advantage of the washer. Note there is no dryer, but we hung our clothes on the drying rack and around the apartment. With the fresh air and summer heat, it dried no problem. Other guests mentioned the stairs to the apartment so we were aware of it, but I will reiterate in case it's an issue for some. The only time it was cumbersome was when we had luggage. I am petite and did ok, but my parents had a hard time. They could manage their hand carry bags, but not the suitcases. If we have the opportunity to return to Rome, we would stay here again.
