This was a great place to stay. Even though it was blocks away from the Colosseum and the Forum when you arrived at the flat it felt like you were miles (kilometers) away. It didn't feel touristy at all until you got closer to these historic sites. Plus it was easy to catch a taxi just up the street from the flat. Francesca and Roberta were very accommodating in answering all of our questions, providing suggestions of where to eat, visit and getting around the city.
