Elvio was an awesome host and his apartment is perfect for visiting Rome. You really get an authentic experience there away from the "tourist traps". A taxi was only 11 Euros to the colesseum and he gave us a map and told us what to see and how to get there. He shows you easy, free parking after you get there as well. Place was awesome compared to what you would get from the hotels in Rome. You will not be disappointed if you chose to stay there!
