First of all, that picture of the Colosseo from the window is 100% accurate. It is the view from four of your windows actually. Being able to be still and absorb the impact of the Colosseum over a few days instead of just the hot rushed obligatory tour through it really deepened my appreciation. I travel with my three kids and this apartment had ample bedrooms (two with air conditioners!), a spacious sitting room and an efficiency kitchen. It felt like we were staying in a friend’s mother’s house, comfortable and welcoming. We were not cramped at all and the location is great. 5 minutes walk from a small restaurant district and the Colosseo Metro stop, literally across the street from the Colosseum, about a half mile walk around the arena for the tour bus pickups, and ready taxis made getting around Rome from this place very easy. The neighborhood felt safe and there is a public park one block down if the kids need to run. Best of all there are two options for coffee/bar/food/gelato right in the building. So convenient. When we come back to Rome, this property will be our first choice.
