We very much loved staying at Carlo's place. It is aesthetically a very pleasing and comfortable home. We are a family of five and we enjoyed each having our own space. The location is convenient to some great restaurants, a 24 hour market, a great scooter rental (best ever way to experience Rome), ATM, taxi stand, bus stops and OF COURSE, the Colosseum and Roman Forum. We took a tour in the day but then walked the two blocks over at night and it was magical to see the Colosseum lite up. You really can't go wrong choosing Carlo's home. The only caution is that the apartment is on the 3rd floor with no elevator. Also, if evening noise bothers you, be aware there is a bar several doors down. We liked the street noise as it added to the overall ambiance, but everyone is different. Carlo is a thorough, responsive and accommodating host. We have great memories of our time in Rome. Happy Travels!
