My adult children and I spent 3 nights at this apartment and were very comfortable. The hosts shared the historic information on the building, which is very impressive. There is a photograph of the building taken in 1860, when it was the only building in the area of the Coliseum. The apartment building is very secure, which we liked because of it's location in a heavily traveled tourist area, and a Metro station is quite literally across the street and down some stairs which was very convenient after long days of sight seeing. Having a washing machine made such a big difference in comfort as well since we had a lot of rain during our trip and the roads became muddy.
