Valentina’s place is one minute walk from Colosseum. There are several restaurants, bars, and ice cream places even closer than that. My kids loved the proximity to Colosseum. We would go out late in the evening for walks around it and it was the highlight of our Rome trip. The apartment is exactly as advertised. Valentina was always checking to see if we arrived safely and if we needed anything. This is probably one of the best Airbnb experiences I had and I would definitely go back to Valentina’s place when back in Rome. One quick note about keys/power: when you get into the apartment you turn on the power with a small key. The power key is on the same ring as the main door key and cannot be taken off. This means that if you leave the apartment and want to take the main key with you, you have to turn off the power. This makes perfect sense since it prevents guests from leaving the AC on during the day and consuming power unnecessarily (the apartment becomes cool really quick once you turn the AC on, even in July). The key marriage was not a problem for us since we always went out and came back together, but may be an issue for larger parties that have different schedules. However, this is only a minor thing, don’t let that stop you from booking Valentina’s place.
