I spent 4 days/nights in Rome with my children (13 and 15) here. Chiara's mom, Patrizia greeted us on arrival. She gave us some great tips on where to eat and recommended activities that would be fun for children/teenagers. We had a wonderful time. The apartment had everything we needed. We were able to walk everywhere. Grocery store, restaurants all around us. The Coloseum is about 10 minutes walking distance. We even walked home from Vatican City after a long day.
