LIVING COLOSSEUM

  : Great location with a quaint and beautiful apartment. Opening the windows truly felt like part of the city. The rooms were very comfortable and surrounded by great restaurants and bars.
  : It can get kind of loud in the evenings. Two bars downstairs kept the noise level high until about midnight. This didnt disrupt our stay, but is something to be aware of.

  : Great location and host was super friendly. She provided restaurant tips and ordered a cab to the airport.
  : It was a little noisy for sleeping, it is right near a popular square where people hang out pretty late.

  : The apartment was lovely and had everything you could ever need
  : The apartment was across a very narrow street from 2 bistros who set up tables directly below the apartment in the evening. It was so noisy, so much so that you could hear everything very clearly, the shouting, the singing, the conversations, the accordian. This went on until at least 2am every morning. The building across the same narrow street was being refurbished and from 6.30 in the morning except on weekends you could hear sawing, hammering and banging. Overall the noise was horrendous. If i had known in advance,i would never have booked as i was travelling with 2 children and we got very little sleep. It's such a shame as the apartment itself was brilliant.

  : Great location for visiting the historical sites of Rome and within walking distance of Rome Termini. Well equipped full kitchen with condiments and basics supplied and washing machine. Comfortable beds and nice shower area.
  : Apartment is up a dimly lit and well worn staircase which made carrying luggage quite stressful. The lady who met us had limited English and we have less Italian so very little information was given and she left within 5 minutes. Would suggest a folder is needed with instructions for wifi ( we couldn't connect at all ) oven, washing machine, hot water, electrical supply ( power failed 3 times in 2 days), recommended restaurants and supermarkets etc. We struggled to sleep as there is a lot of noise - at night the local cafes set tables in the street and the small adjacent piazza where there is also a gelato shop. Lots of very noisy, young people gathered until early hours of the morning then the street sweeper arrived followed by the smashing of glass bottles from 4.30am due to collection by rubbish trucks. During the day there is building activity directly opposite from 7am.

  : What a perfect location! Situated above one of Rome's recommended gelatarias (yum!) and a very reasonably priced trattoria serving excellent pizza literally on the doorstep, plus only 10-15 minutes walk to the Colosseum, Stazioni Termini and several small supermarkets. What more could you want from a location? Plus the apartment itself was nicely appointed - very clean with a decent kitchen, washing machine, nice bedrooms and a living space perfectly adequate for the two of us. It was nice to have some original features too - lovely beamed high ceilings, interesting old doors. Guilia was helpful, and accessible by text, though as we had no issues to sort, we never needed to contact her outside of arriving and leaving.
  : The toilet part of the bathroom is functional and clean but space-restricted. If you are a large person you might struggle a little bit. The doors into the bathroom are both quite short and narrow too. No problem for us short folk, but duck if you're tall. Warning for the stairs too - the apartment is on the 2nd floor, so if you're not reasonably fit you might find them a lot, and there's no lift. The only problem we had was trying to lock and unlock the apartment door - getting the long key into the slot was not easy without crouching down to see what you're doing.

  : A beautiful place, newly reatructured with taste. Comfy and in the heart of the nicest part of Rome. A great address that feels like home!
  : the bathroom is really narrow, but it comes with the charm of old buildings, modern and clean but just beware of the low doors! there are bars just downstairs so expect some white noise in the evenings, but nothing major!

  : The location was good. Business area and public transportation are closed by, making it's easy to buy stuff, such as souvenir or daily needs, and visiting attractions. Also, small shops are nearby, making it's enjoyable to just wander around the area leisurely. The apartment is beautiful that you can dive in the Italy atmosphere right away. However, the building is old with most of the facility made by wood so need to be gentle and the door lock could be stuck sometime.
  : The apartment is right above an popular restaurant so the area can be busy and noisy at night until 2am. The main bedroom is away from the street so it's ok. However, if you were in the living room area or the bedroom near apartment entrance, the noisy level could be like you were on a busy street. However, if you like to enjoy the night life of Rome, it shouldn't be an issue. The area is quiet during the daytime.
