Lavinia personally welcomed us to the beautiful apartment in the MOST AMAZING LOCATION and gave us many great eating recommendations. I've been to Rome many times, but have always had to spend some time getting to and from places. 2 blocks to the right of the apt was the Trevi Fountain, two blocks to the left was the Pantheon. It was a 15 minute walk to the Spanish steps, 30 minute stroll to Colosseum, and about a 40 minute walk to Vatican city. We only used a taxi once our whole trip and only bc it was raining ;) You cant beat the location, and for two families it was such a functional and lovely apartment we wanted for nothing ... except some quiet at night ;) Being so close to everything means we were in the middle of all the excitement which sometimes didnt die down until 1-2am. However she provides ear plugs, and I travel with a white noise machine so no biggy (pro tip, all travelers should invest in one!). Have fun!
