We found La Bella Sosta al Colosseo to be a perfect, central location to explore Rome. The apartment was large enough that we didn’t feel we were in a cramped hotel room, and felt clean and stylish; it is quite compact but nicer than we were expecting. It was very quiet despite its central location. I am very glad we utilized Francesca’s transportation from the airport as we would have have found it extremely difficult to find. However if we do find ourselves back in Rome I would stay again as it is a short walk from the train station, and easy to locate once you know what you are doing.
Francesca left a great hostess basket that made the morning routine very easy.
The building has two directions to exit - the streets are cobblestones and to the right is a fairly easy walk to the Main Street. To the left are steep steps that take you right into the heart of the Monti area. The street the building is on is blocked for vehicles which adds to the peacefulness. Many restaurants and shops are nearby.
Even with heavy rain the area was wonderful to explore. Knowing we were close to the Colosseum does not prepare you for walking around a corner and seeing it up the street - maybe a 9 minute stroll.
We really enjoyed our stay and the convenience of this location.
Thank you for your hospitality, suggestions, and the yummy lollies Francesca. Grazie Mille from Joanne and Scott.
