The location is truly great and worth the money, especially if your goal is to visit all the main historic sites. Within 10 minutes from leaving the apartment you will be standing in front of the Colosseum and Forum Romanum. And right on the street there is a great pizza place, pasta place, gelato place, 2 coffee places and 2 mini markets. So in other words everything you will “need” besides the sight seeing. And the whole Monti district is full of nice bars, cafes and restaurants full of young people, so a lots to try and do even in the evenings. The apartment itself is fine, clean, looks a bit bigger than it really is on the photos + the only windows are in the kitchen so it is a bit dark during the day. However if you are out all the time it will not bother you anyway. We did not use the terrace since it was still relatively cold but it might be cool to use in the spring/summer.
