Pine was a fantastic communicator and made our stay in Rome wonderful. It is just a short walk to the Colosseum, about 10 mins, which is pretty much at the center of many "things to see." The apartment was also great, clean, completely functional with added touches of local wine and jams from her family orchard. The only setback was that is that it is quite noisy at night with traffic noise. If you are a light sleeper it is a good idea to bring earplugs.
