The location is less than 5 min from coliseum and 15-25 min from most major attractions (Vatican is about 40 min walk).
There is a 24 hour grocery store for snacks or toiletries that is 3 min walk away.
We were a family of 4 and had to use the sofa bed. It was not comfortable at all because of the squeaking noise it makes as you toss and turn at night. We took the thin mattress and put it on the floor so we can sleep and that was better but of course not ideal given it’s a thin mattress on cold tile. Speaking of cold, it was really cold in the apartment at night and mornings. We were told not to touch the heating system by our host /and there is a sign that says that. But by night 3, with rain and less than 40 degrees outside, I sent her a message and told her that we needed additional heat to be comfortable. She responded that we can turn on the heater which made our last two night a lot better.
There is no cable / English tv so if you have kids or need to watch something to relax at night, you’ll have to bring your iPads.
Although the location is great, if you are more than 2 people, I don’t recommend this place. The sofa or matress on the floor is not comfortable at all and after 10-14 hours of walking each day, you want to be able to rest properly. My husband and son used the bedroom / bed and they said it was comfortable. I can’t say the same about the living room.
