Those pictures don't lie - the Colosseum *really* is just outside the front door and up the street! The location of this apartment is absolutely incredible. Apart from the wonders of the Colosseum, it's also on the doorstep of a very vibrant part of the city, with loads of eating and drinking places, and our favourite little square just up Via dei Serpenti where lots of people sit at the places around the fountain and chat.
Frederic was a wonderful host whose tips and top travel spots are well worth following.
The apartment is very clean and has all the charm befitting its location. If you're after glossy and ultra-modern, this probably isn't the place for you, but we loved the authentic, rustic feel of the building and the apartment.
All in all, an excellent stay with fantastic value for money for the accommodation, the host's helpfulness and the location.
