The best aspect of the host’s place is the view of the balcony, sitting there in the morning lead to a great start to the day and coming back in the evening was so nice to come back to.
Good walking distance to everything as the colosseum was about a 30 minute walk away and the Vatican was 20 minutes (and this is coming from a short person who is a slow walker).
The best place we had in Rome was in the area we stayed in, staying at this place made our experience so much better and I couldn’t recommend it more.
