Franco’s place is in a great location if you are looking to visit Rome’s primary sites and attractions in the middle of the city. Most everything is no more than a 15-20 minute journey on the metro. Franco greeted us and provided directions on how to get around the city including visiting the Vatican on the metro. The apartment is also a 10-15 minute walk from the Coliseum. It was a once in a lifetime experience on New Years Eve viewing the fireworks near the Coliseum/forum with a party that lasted all night into the next day. Highly recommended for first time travelers to Rome.
The apartment was built in 1887 and has since been retrofitted with modern bathroom and with all the necessary necessities including a heater. There was a bar/restaurant next door as well as a metro stop within a 5 minute walk. Overall, highly recommended.
