The location is absolutely prime-- you're about a 10 minute walk from the Colosseum, Circus Maximus, and Forum. If you journey just beyond that, you're near some popular tourist attractions such as the Trevi Foundation and Spanish Steps. We planned on using public transportation, but the location was so good that we ended up skipping buses/metro and walking everywhere. The only thing that could make this apartment a better value is if the hosts were more flexible on check in time; we ended up having to wait about four hours to check in after we arrived in Rome, lugging our bags around-- this is super not fun when the streets are cobblestone. However, the hosts do offer a nice check out option of storing your luggage if you're going to be around the area for a few extra hours after your check out time, which is a plus. All in all, if we were visiting Rome again or had friends who were traveling there, we'd recommend this space.
