This apartment is very close to the Colussem and ruins. It is a great location for walking to these sites as well as other parts of the city. It is a bit noiser than other places but the shades helped to block most of the noise and the light. The apartment is on the 3rd floor and it takes many steps to walk up to it. There is a small elevator which was greatly appreciated for all of our luggage. Antonietta helped us with restaurants and transportation to the airport. I would highly recommend this apartment.
