Superb location in terms of accessibility to public transport (including the city hop-on-hop-off buses), right next to the magnificent Basilica di Santa Maria Maggiore and within walking distance of the Colosseum, the apartment ticks all the right boxes for a first time visitor to Rome. The old-fashioned building façade and the interiors of the apartment, add to the charm of the place. The apartment was comfortably furnished, well-equipped and clean. However, do note that the building is an old one, the elevator and the plumbing is of a different era. But everything works as expected and we had no issues during the course of our stay. Being so close to the Termini, the neighborhood is similar to what can be found close to railway stations in any big city. Julian and his wife were excellent hosts and were always reachable. All in all, a great experience.
