Pamela messaged us as soon as we booked the apartment and stayed in contact regularly, with some great tips about Rome and advice on how best to get to and from the airport. The flat itself is very nice and perfect for us, literally minutes from the Colosseum. We walked everywhere but there is a metro station at the Colosseum and bars and restaurants close by, although there were better ones further from the main attractions. We really just used the flat to sleep, it was comfortable and pretty, with an interesting layout. It had its quirks, as other people have said anyone about 5'11'' would struggle stand upstairs and I don't think many could stand up in the shower. It could also be a noisy in the building (although windows blocked out street noise) and we were woken often by slamming doors and once at 3am by a British couple having a blazing row!! But I imagine thats not the norm! Pam was a great host and i'd recommend the flat to anyone wanting a good value place to stay in Rome.
