Great location to explore old Rome.
We spent 4 nights with our young boys.
Luca's mother let us leave our luggage on our last day, so we didn't have to lug our stuff around until the evening.
The apartment is air conditioned and since Rome was having s hear wave, we really appreciated it.
We could even come back from a hot morning at the colloseum for a siesta.
Bus stops are 7 -15 minute walk depending on where you want to go.
We did not get a chance to use the metro.
The apartment is right next to the forum but the access is a 15-20/minute walk.
