From start to finish this was a fabulous experience. I visited Rome with 2 friends in the fall. As first-time visitors we wanted a place that was close to sites and transit, well appointed, and reasonably priced. Colosseum View 1 was all three.

Upon arrival, Natalia and Walter spent time showing us the apartment amenities and orienting us to Rome, neighborhood restaurants, and how to get around. We found many of their suggestions to be very useful, and they helped us to make the most of our visit. They also arranged our transport to and from the airport--a really great service that made that part of the trip a piece of cake.

The apartment is very clean and has everything you need, including a washer/dryer. Although not in the tourist heart of the city, we found the apartment to be perfectly located and we felt like locals by the end of the week. It's within walking distance of the Colosseum, and a small local bus stops nearby that will take you to key sites like the Spanish Steps. There's also a grocery store within a 5-10 minute walk if you want to make a meal.

If you're looking for a cozy place to stay with great hosts, this is it. I would definitely stay there again, or at another of Natalia and Walter's apartments.
