The room is exactly how is it in the pictures and Cristina is the sweetest lady ever. We loved chatting with her and she was even kind enough to provide us with coffee and pastries for breakfast! She was always there to help us out and gave us directions on how to get to all the famous sights. It takes about 15 minutes to walk to the Colosseum/Roman Forum and there is a metro station down the street that takes you all over the city. It is a shared apartment but it was one of the best experience I've had in a shared apartment. Thank-you Cristina :)
