Emanuela's place was great! It's about 15 minutes away from the train station and about 10 minutes to the coliseum by foot. There's also a metro station and bus stop near by, which helped for the tiring days.
The room itself felt like a hotel room- bed, dresser, table, and bathroom. Somewhat small, but if you're just there to sleep at night it's perfect. We had breakfast each morning- toast, croissants, and juice. Definitely recommend!
