My husband and I stayed at Colosseum 1 on May 20-25, 2009. We had a wonderful stay, enjoying the apartment and its surrounding neighborhood. The apartment itself is very comfortable and well equipped. It has two bedrooms, both with comfortable beds. It also has two full baths, a small living room and very efficient, well stocked kitchen.

Walter and Natalia are excellent hosts. Walter arrived to show us how to use the appliances, and also spent about an hour explaining the neighborhood restaurants, shops, etc. as well as the buses and transportation in the area. He helped us with tour guides and general information about Rome. It was our first trip to Italy and with Walter's help, we felt like natives within a very brief time.

The neighborhood is safe and the apartment is safe as well, with very strong doors with double locks. We never hesitated to leave our valuables in the apartment.

The location was excellent. We could walk to the Colosseum, and in fact, we walked by it daily on our excursions around Rome. Using the apartment as a base, we were able to explore all the different parts of Rome easily. We walked to many local sites, and found the other transportation easily.

We were offered the courtesy of a cab pick up from the airport (quite reasonable) and the same cab driver brought us to the train station when we left Rome to depart for Naples.

Again, we loved this apartment, in the heart of ancient Rome. We will stay there again on our next visit.
