Really enjoyed our time in Rome. The flat and it's location played a big part in this. Maddalena met us on arrival and she was really helpful. Told us about the public transport and a few local restaurants. One of which was Luzzis which we would highly recommend close by cheap food and drink that is still very tasty.
You will be with in walking distance of the Colosseum which is ideal. I think what makes it great though is that you can catch the bus number 87 into town or Manzoni metro station is a 5 minute walk away. We were considering using ubers but even they were really expensive. So as Maddalena recommended we bought a 72 hour pass which allows you on all forms of public transport.
One day we walked into town from the flat and that was probably my favourite day walking past all the amazing sites and buildings. Thanks again Maddalena - great stay - would recommend this flat to anyone visiting Rome!
