Before talking about the room I would like to tell you about Luca. From the first time I messaged him about the room availability until checkout and even beyond that, Luca was extremely helpful, patient (and I bugged him a lot), very prompt at responding, very accommodating, and an awesome person to rent an apartment from. Even when we kept him waiting an extra 30 minutes due to a train delay (and I did not call to let him know) yet he did not seem mad and even told us about a wonderful farmer's market right down the street to try and get to before they closed. If you are there for a Sunday (only day it is open), definitely go to the market.

The room was great, it was very clean and exactly as described on Luca's listing. The bed was by far the most comfortable we had while in Italy (slept in 5 of them), the location was great, and you could not beat looking out the window and seeing the Roman Forums staring back at you!!

It took us about 20 minutes to walk to the Colosseum, a 10 or so minute bus ride to get to the Historic center area (Piazza Navona, Trevi Fountain, Pantheon, etc), and about a 10 minute walk from the nearest metro stop. You are a short walk from the Jewish Ghetto neighborhood and the Trastevere neighborhood.

You could easily walk to the Historic center area, although we had the passes and wanted to get our money's worth out of them. I am guessing it would take about 30 minutes to walk to the Historic Center.

We would definitely rent this room from Luca again and since we threw money into the Trevi fountain, I think Luca will be hearing from us in the future :-)
