The apartment is both ingeniously designed and wonderfully homey. And the location? ...Just out your front door, turn left and see the Colosseum- breathtaking. Even though our train was late and we couldn't get word to Edoard and Melanie, Edoard's lovely sister was there to meet us, let us in and introduce us to the place. Their book of meal suggestions, maps and general info was extensive and excellent. It's a brilliant home base from which to see the great city of Rome. We loved it.
