Patty's apartment was perfect for our trip - exactly as advertised.
It is close to the metro - a short walk to Manzoni station, from where you can travel to anywhere. But also it is close enough to walk directly to some of the main sites, particularly the Colosseum.
Patty and Marco were great hosts - they provided pick up and drop off to and from the airport for us (for an additional fee) and let us check in and out beyond the standard times - which was great as we arrived very early in the morning!
They provided tips for the local area and left us with a map and some information for restaurants close by.
All in all, a perfect stay for our first trip to Rome.
