Edo & Melanie's apartment is so close to the Colosseum and in a nice area. Certainly an excellent location! Melanie was wonderful at communicating and made us feel very welcome at the apartment (with information and assorted groceries). Her dad personally saw us settled in to the apartment.
I did however find the photos misleading in that they make the apartment look light filled when in reality it is very dark with no airflow (it's quite hot and the shower smells a little). It also doesn't show how awkward it is to move around the apartment.
The other disappointing thing is that tbe bedroom is just below street level with a window to the road so it was quite noisy with pedestrians and cars going past.
It's an old apartment so of course you need to take that into consideration and it's definitely an amazing location. But I'm not sure I would stay here again.
But as I said, Melanie is an excellent host and the place is near the Colosseum and lots of sites so from that point of view it was an excellent stay. Thank you, Melanie.
