The apartment has a wonderful location in the "Monti" district of Rome. It is surrounded by cafes and bars, and a 10 minute walk to the Colosseum. We had the sounds of people laughing and talking at the cafes every night. People sit by the fountains near the apartment in the evening. It is a fun area. The apartment is older, but still classy, a bit like Rome itself. Everything worked and we had a great time.
