Very nice apartment in a local area but with everything you need within 5 mins walk - food market just below, plus metro stop Ri de Roma and local cafes and restaurants. We also took a local train to and from the airport using the tuscolana train station which was a 10 min walk from the apartment. Colleseum was about 20/25 mins by foot and we found nice cafes and bars en route down little side streets for refreshments! The apartment building is an oasis of calm built around a lovely courtyard which was a welcome break after the hustle and bustle of the ancient area and central sites. Coffee, jam and fruit to welcome us - we went out for every meal but the kitchen seemed well equipped and there was enough space for a family of 4. Would recommend!
