Located in the Tuscolano neighbourhood, this apartment makes it easy to enjoy the timeless magic of Rome. Outside, it’s just 500 metres to the nearest metro station, while the Colosseum is just a twenty-minute bus ride away. There’s a great selection of local restaurants and cafes within walking distance. Plus, your host is on hand to help organise extras like taxi reservations and grocery deliveries. It’s worth noting the apartment is basic, but there’s a little balcony and plenty of space for couples and families in search of a relaxing base in the Eternal City.

Local guide
About Tuscolano
Beyond the railway station, Tuscolano doesn’t have architecture to match some of the other parts of the city, but its streets are filled with green, and it has several nice restaurants and a couple of lovely parks. It’s generally a very safe area, with great transport links as the metro runs into the city along Via Appia Nuova - you can get all the way to the Vatican without changing lines.
