The absolutely key ingredient of this listing is location. You get off the plane at Fiumicino ("Leonardo Da Vinci") and sit on a train which takes you directly to Termini station in Rome. When you get off the train, you don't have to lug your bags across all of Italy, a 10min light walking distance will get you there. Once you're settled, the whole city is within walking distance (at least it was for us, we walked everywhere), for example Colloseum / Forum is about 12mins away.

Otherwise, the place was spotless, very well maintained and everything there looked almost brand new. It's not big, but very comfortable and felt like home right away. The common area with tea/coffee cookers and juices/snacks is kept well stocked by Annapiera.

Our trip to Rome was certainly made better by Annapiera and would go back.
