It's location can be very hard to beat when in Rome. Only about a 5/10 minute walk to the Colosseum, Roman Forum and Palatine Hill. It's about a 15/20 minute walk from the Roma Termini train station, would definitely recommend taking the metro or another kind of transportation if you have heavy luggage. Even though we didn't need anything during our stay, knowing that Monica lives in the same building was a nice reassurance! The apartment was very well equipped as described, just be careful when you wake up if you're sleeping up in the loft. If you're looking for the most bang for your buck in Rome, staying at Monica's apartment is the way to go!
