Would definitely stay there again.Sieber from United States (10/10)
Location, location, location! We were able to enjoy music on the terrace each evening! The owners son was very helpful and attentive filling in for his father who was away on business. But even though he was away the owner was quick to respond and assist with check in and an extra set of linens. Great neighborhood with lots of dining options and perfect space for a family.

The apartment was huge
It was better than we could imagineFrank from United States (9/10)
This was an excellent location with awesome views of the Forum and Colosseum. The location was perfect for sightseeing and a very close walk to the Colosseo metro stop (less than 5 minutes even carrying luggage!) As you can see by the pictures in the description, the apartment is spacious with 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms and a kitchen. The living room was very nice to have as well. Lastly, the terrace was amazing to have a drink and a cigar at sunset!
