This airbnb was perfect for the location and we had a great time staying here! The apartment is not far to walk to the Colosseum, Roman Ruins, Palatine Hill and the Trevi Fountain. It's about an hours walk to the Vatican but this is doable as we managed it in 35 degree heat and you can pass loads of other key tourist sites on your way down! The train station is about a 9 minute walk away and you're surrounded by restaurants, mini markets and supermarkets (the coop is about a 5 minute walk from the apartment and perfect for grabbing treats or water as its only 59 cent here!)
On arriving at the apartment we were greated by the cleaner and told that the apartment wouldn't be ready for another hour, which wasn't a problem as he gave us time to freshen up, change and drop our luggage off whilst he cleaned. We would have liked to meet Emanuele as we love hearing about tips or hidden gems in the area from the host but again this wasn't a problem as we had mapped key places we wanted to go to in advance.
The apartment is a good size for couples and the aircon is perfect for coming back after a long hot day! We had all the amenities needed and the bed was bigger than a double so great for relaxing in. The only issues we found was the hairdryer was very weak, the plug in the sink was permanently closed, meaning it filled up after brushing your teeth or washing your hands and the furniture, particularly the bed board was worn in comparison to the pictures - but this shouldn't put you off as again these were only minor things we found and apart from that we really enjoyed the apartment!
For places to grab a bite to eat not far from the apartment we recommend - iPhame (good for tasty fresh sandwiches), Zizzi Pizzeria (amazing pizza), Ristorante Strega (chips, pizza and salad great for sharing) and Fuorinorma (hidden gem near the colosseum and they do amazing cheese and meat boards). Avoid the cafe to the right when coming out of the apartment if you can as we got charged €28 euros for two croissants, two orange juices and a cappuccino vs. the next day we turned left out of the apartment and got two croissants for €1 each from a deli.
Remember before arriving to have money ready for the tax (this is required in most places) and for this apartment its €3.50 per person per day.
