I loved staying in this apartment as it was so near to everything yet very quiet as well.

Things can look quite a distance on the map but the Pantheon is actually only about 20 seconds walk (you can see it from the door) and the Vatican is about 20 minutes walk.

To go to the Colosseum you just turn left out of the apartment and when you look right on the main road you can see the huge white building called The Altare della Patria (also known as the Monumento Nazionale a Vittorio Emanuele II or Il Vittoriano). You can't miss it! You just go down the main road to the right of that and you're at the Colosseum. everything is very very near.

The best coffee shop in Rome (according to many Romans I know including the host's brother) is the Tazzo D'Oro which is a minutes walk away. You can even see the Pantheon from the door.

There is even a very well hidden supermarket about 2 minutes from the apartment which is just off the Piazza della Rotonda. It's a very small entrance which leads into quite a big store. There is also a taxi rank right next to the Pantheon - a taxi to the apartment from the train station should be around 10 euros.

I highly recommend the apartment. I didn't meet Giulio but the instructions he gave me to enter were fine and the wi-fi was very good which was very important for me as I work for myself.

I stayed for 6 days and will definitely look to book again when I next come to Rome.
