Apartment is a 10 minute walk to the manzoni metro underground. 10 minute walk to termini station. 18 minute walk to colloseum. Apartment worked great for us. Right outside the window you have a protected back area with a little bit of space. You can't go back there but it gives you a little bit of room. Kitchen was fully stocked. If I were an elderly person I may find it difficult to move around the low ceiling in the upstairs loft. Simone was a very gracious host.
