Andrea was a great host! He met up with us before the apartment was ready so we could store our luggage. He also arranged our limo for pick up and drop off from the airport.
This place was absolutely perfect for our 4-day stay in Rome. A few steps out the door and you're staring at the Colosseum. The metro stop across from the Colosseum (2 stops from Termini Station) is only a 5 minute walk.The Monti neighborhood had all the essentials; corner grocery stores, restaurants, bars, and cafes. We never had to leave the area to find a great meal, espresso, or cocktail. The location is unbeatable, and the price was unbelievable. Having an affordable stay with so many amenities nearby made it easy to spend more time and money enjoying the sights of Rome. The neighborhood was safe and there was plenty of security for the accommodation (a locked gate and door).
The apartment was perfectly adequate for our needs. We slept comfortably at night with a window open for cool air. The bed was comfortable. Water pressure and temperature were good. The kitchen has a small refrigerator, microwave, oven, and Nespresso machine.The place is a perfect size for a couple. Squeezing four people would be doable but tight.
We would highly highly recommend the Shadow of the Colosseum to anyone visiting Rome. Waking up and coming home to the Colosseum was quite a unique experience. STAY HERE!
