Colosseo Apartment - Two Bedroom Apartment, Sleeps 4
Imagine finding gorgeous accommodations in Rome not only near the main attractions, but literally steps from the world-famous Colosseum. The Metro is a 2-minute walk for easy transportation options.
The apartment is located on the ground floor of a building in Via del Colosseo. From the entrance you will have access directly to the living room where you will find a comfortable sofa, a dining area with a table able, once opened, to accommodate up to five guests. From the living you will get access to the first bedroom, and to a small corridor, that will take you to the independent kitchen and to the second bedroom.
The kitchen has all the amenities you need to prepare delicious meals. All the conveniences you expect are included: a dishwasher, refrigerator, stove, oven, microwave, coffee maker, and a washing machine with a traditional Italian-style rack dryer.
Both the bedrooms come with king size beds, and both have an en suite bathroom with shower, sink, wc and bidet. The second bedroom, slightly larger, also comes with a wardrobe room, which is as antechamber to the bathroom. The design is elegant and comfortable.
Independent heating, air conditioning in every room and free Wi-Fi internet connection; we will be happy to supply a baby cot on request.
The apartment is located in Via del Colosseo, just a few meters from one of the most appreciated and famous monuments in the world. Just a short 15 minute stroll and you will be at the Trevi Fountain, Pantheon and Navona. We will be happy to help you with your check in, in order to make it as smooth and pleasurable as possible, organizing your transfer the airport, or from the station to the apartment, providing different solutions for your luggage deposit, early checkins and late checkouts.
Great location in the heart of ancient Rome. Many restaurants nearby. Exactly what we saw in pictures. Small but we knew we were spending most of our time out and about in Rome so it fit our needs perfectly. Would definitely stay there again. Alla was very responsive to our needs.
Unbelievably close proximity to the Colosseum, and within a very short walking distance to several excellent restaurants, as well as a grocery! Accommodations were very nice, and it was perfect for our needs. We are staying here again, when we return from Amalfi, and look forward to it!
EXCELLENT PROPERTY FOR TWO COUPLES (2 BEDROOMS/2 FULL BATHROOMS). VERY WELL LOCATED, AT WALKING DISTANCE FOR ALMOST ALL MAIN ATTRACTIONS EXCEPT THE VATICAN. KITCHEN SMALL THOUGH NOT IMPORTANT FOR A SHORT STAY. PERHAPS A DRYING MACHINE WOULD HELP WITH THE EXTREME HUMIDITY WE EXPERIENCED IN OCTOBER.
I STRONGLY RECOMMEND.
The best thing is the fantastic location but it was very difficult to contact Antonio (he does not answer) but Orlandoâs wassap available for questions. It was difficult to check in because the card machine was not working when we tried to pay. In the end we needed to pay another day with a different card that cost us 23⏠more because of the exchange rate that we tried to avoid.
Many toiletries and towels in the house but the floors/walls were not very clean. The shower is mouldy and after a couple of showers the mould was too much. The sheets had many holes which was not appropriate for the money we paid.
It's in the heart of Imperial Rome. That's both good and bad. The good: if you want to do, say, night time tours of the Forums or the Colosseum (highly recommended) you just cross the road. The bad is that you'll be hard pressed to find authentic local eateries nearby. For the most part they're tourist traps. You'd get better food outside the city centre, but it's less convenient. It's a trade off.
There's a well stocked mini supermarket on a street just down from the far end of the Coloseeum.
I'll get the few negatives out of the way first.
The check in process was a bit fiddly; I was asked to fill in a check in form on Google Docs including information like expected time of arrival and expected train... and then received a message on the day of arrival asking for exactly the same thing. On arrival there was an awful lot of form filling (by hand), when we just wanted to unpack and get on with the holiday. The process was courteous; it could just do with some streamlining.
Remember to take enough cash to cover the city tax. (That's a government rule.)
The internet wasn't running when we arrived, but a replacement "pocket modem" was supplied. However it tended to be intermittent in its availability.
There was some deeply embedded mould in the grout of the bathrooms which bothered some of us more than others, but aside from that they were still very clean. The showers have no soap holders, which isn't convenient.
Now the good. The location, obviously. The standard of cleaning overall was very good. I considered the beds to be comfortable, and there was plenty of linen for everyone.
The kitchen is very small (one person at a time can fit) but that's normal for the area and it was well equipped. There is no dish washer, but there is a front loading clothes washer which was a fiddly sod of a thing to use and on one occasion locked a load of clothes in overnight. However when it worked it worked well, and when we had the problem the owners were very responsive and sent someone to help the following morning.
I'd add that as a positive; the owner responsiveness was extremely good. It's mostly done via WhatsApp so I'd recommend having that installed.
The proximity to the metro system (Colosseo station line B) is excellent, but you should be aware that for the rest of 2019 that line will be subject to early closures and complete shut downs on the weekend relating to the construction of Line C.
In a nutshell: Highly recommended.
This is great for one family. Would not recommend for two families. Need a place to dry your clothes if you plan to wash for an extended stay. The location is good if you donât mind a little walk to some of the sites.
The apartment was in a perfect location for touring the sites of Rome. Orlando was very prompt for our check in and helpful when the AC didnât work. The only downside to the apartment was a shortage of hot water in the showers and the poorly stocked kitchen. The location made up for any short comings.
