I did not realize until I got there exactly how great this location is!! Gorgeous, great views, and walking distance to the colosseum. I decided to do a hop on/hop off tour, and found that if you go out the door on the backside of the building that the balcony faces, there is a shop that sells the tickets. Then I just had to walk to the other side of the basilica to reach the bus stop! So easy! Apartment was beautiful and they were kind enough to stock it with a few beverages and snacks for me. And also allowed me to check in 2hrs early. I would definitely stay again!
