Franco was an excellent host, he allowed my husband and I to check in early because we arrived on an early flight! The apartment is exactly as pictured, actually it is larger than I expected, with the brick arches and ceiling being massive and dating back to the 1800s! We enjoyed our stay immensely, however it should be noted that even though you are only 300 meters from the coliseum, you are located on the outskirts of most of the sightseeing areas of Rome. A LOT of walking is involved! Franco recommended a pizza place, go to it, everything they make is amazing!!! Overall for the value, I would recommend this apartment in Rome. Thank you Franco!!
