I am American and it was my first time on the Europe main land. We had exchanged several emails and there was a text waiting for me when my plane landed. I was going to walk from the Termini station (took express from airport), but was advised to take the 64 bus. It is VERY walkable, especially on the scale of Rome and the walking I was about to do, but with my gear the bus was nice.

I was met by her husband or friend (not really important here) and his English was very good, and certainly better than my Italian. I was ready to roll as soon as I got there and he immediately gave me the lay of the land in the vicinity of the flat. Right up to the door of the restaurant I had dinner at.

If you are looking to get a lot of sleep, its not the best place. But if you are looking to get a lot of sleep don't go to Rome. It is RIGHT on the plaza, and the view is unreal. There are some bars below that do make some noise at night, but it was not an issue for me. I either joined, or was too beat not to sleep.

The location is awesome. Closest top tier place is the Pantheon, but I walked to the Colosseum, Forum, Trevi Fountain, St Catherine's, Spanish Stairs, Vatican, and the Castle. You can bus if you want, but I wanted to see the whole city.

The flat itself is more than sufficient. Shower is nice, bed was nice and there was a TV. Clean towels, clean sheets, place to put stuff, and it was heated as needed. I think there are other rooms but they were locked. For just me, it was more than I was expecting. If you were with a group this would be a really cool spot to be.

If you are going to be staying here, feel free to contact me for some insider tips on the location.

I had an awesome time and Marzia made it very easy and was very accommodating.
