We had a wonderful stay in Maddalena's apartment. It is fine for two people in a great location, close to the Colliseum and near public transportation. Its not a tourist area, which is what we liked about it but is near good restaurants, shops and bars. A great laundromat is within blocks. As others have said, it does get warm in the apartment. Maddalena is trying to address this and bought a new air conditioning unit for the apartment. Even with the unit, it is still a bit warm. But, all in all, a great experience and we would stay there again (just not in the summer)!
