Sylvia was an excellent host, helpful with lots of local information and available if we needed anything. The apartment was just lovely and met all our needs. It had a traditional feel, cute balcony, quiet air conditioning and comfy bed. We could walk to all the points of interest, the Colloseum was about 30 mins and we walked there via the Trevi Fountain on day 1 (we did taxi there for 10 euros on day 2 when we did a tour as it was sooo hot 32 degrees). Vatican City about 20 mins walk and Spanish steps less than 10 mins. We found heaps of excellent restaurants, cafes and gelato stops very close by but there is so much choice in Rome - you won’t go hungry! We highly recommend Sylvia’s place for a romantic few days in Rome!
