This is a very good location for seeing a lot of the big things to see in Rome. You can walk to the Colosseum and the Roman Forum from here in under 15 minutes. The apartment lies on a side street that has little vehicle traffic. There is a metro station at the end of the street. Communication with the host was never a problem. The apartment was clean and fulfilled all my needs. It's a good place to stay if you are new to Rome.
