Good location close to the Colosseum. Supermarket and restaurants close by. Plenty of space. Good household facilities. The host was very kind and helpful, offering significant information regarding the accommodation but also transport, weather or local news.

Nilay from Turkey (10/10)
The warm attention of the owner was perfect. We contacted her even before we arrived in the city, she kindly answered all my questions, and regularly asked if I needed anything else. I thank her very much again. You can see the Colosseum from the house, as everyone says, there is a 24-hour Carrefour market, there are restaurants and a bakery nearby. we had children with us so we preferred to go to the train station by Uber, it is normally a 20-minute walk. If I go again, this is the only address I will stay at. There is nothing I can find fault with. we went as two families and the plan of the house was very suitable for this. In short, thank you for everything
