This apartment is a perfect place for a family or couple to spend a few days (or longer!) exploring Rome. We LOVED our week here, arriving on 26th December and leaving on 1st January. Irene's apartment is exactly as it is described on the website. It's on the first floor above an Irish pub, so certain nights of the week some noise carries up from the street late into the evening, but this didn't disturb us too much and if you're after a city centre apartment within walking distance of all the tourist attractions and restaurants, you can't really expect total peace and quiet! So that's not a criticism.
You can walk so easily to all the tourist attractions. Perhaps 5 minutes to the Colosseum (and the Colosseo metro station) and about 10 minutes to the Roman Forum and Palatine. The Trevi fountain is also very close - about 10 minutes away. We discovered a brilliant cheap family-friendly restaurant just around the corner. Turn right as you come out the door, then immediately right again.
