Very spacious, comfortable and stylish apartment which had everything we needed and which suited the needs of our family of 5. It was on the first floor up 2 short flights of stairs but a lift is available. With the windows shut there was no street noise. We explored much of Rome during our stay. The apartment was well positioned with the colosseum a short walk away but it was a bit of a distance from some other main sites. We covered a lot of kms on foot and also used the nearby metro to get to and from some locations. Be prepared for a squeeze if you take the metro to St Peters/San Pietro and the Vatican! We ate in some nearby restaurants which were great, the hosts provided some good info and suggestions in a folder at the apartment. Both Gabriella and Ruben communicated well and were very helpful both before and during our stay.
