This apartment was a very good choice. I have learned to temper my expectations based on pictures vs. reality, but the pictures are incredibly representative of this apartment. Great location, amazing view of the Colosseum, lots of space within the apartment and it's in a central location from many of the main attractions in Rome.
One thing that was important (especially in August) was that it had great AC, and it was nice to come back to a cool place in the afternoon for a break from the heat.
Other bonuses - washing machine for laundry, full kitchen, and grocery store just downstairs. Would stay here again!
