Sweet Home Colosseum was the perfect apartment for our family of 4 (2 adults and 2 kids, 9 & 13). Its central location made it very easy for us to reach the attractions that we planned to visit while in Rome (Colosseum, Fori Romani, Piazza Venezia, Piazza Repubblica, Vatican). The apartment is exactly as you see in the pictures, probably even better. It is cozy and welcoming with warm colors and nice design touches. The kitchen and bathroom were very clean. The linens and towels were hotel quality. We did not cook in the apartment, only had espresso in the morning. Giovanni has a very good and easy to use espresso machine in the kitchen and he kindly provides complimentary coffee and teas. There is not much natural light in the apartment, because it is on the street level with only one small window. I love and need natural light, but because of the great and abundant lights inside, it did not bother me at all (we were out exploring the city during the day anyway, and when we got home it was always dark outside). The bathroom shower is fantastic with optimal water pressure and temperature. There is no window in the bathroom, so it gets a bit humid after a shower. Right outside the building there are plenty of restaurants (Giovanni provides great suggestions on good restaurants in the area), gift shops, and coffee places. Communication with the host was also very accurate, during the planning stages of the trip Giovanni responded immediately to the questions I had, a few days before our arrival he was very proactive and contacted us to organize check in. Overall, I highly recommend Sweet Home Colosseum to families traveling with older kids ( small kids (1-6 years old) would probably not do well because of the stairs ) and couples for romantic gateways. One thing to mention, the apartment is centrally located, so you hear a bit a street noise. It is not that much, but it could bother those who are used to perfect silence at night. For me it was a small price to pay for the location!
