Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
This modern apartment sure knows how to make a statement. With its black, white, and blue colour scheme, it oozes relaxation while the abstract wallpaper gives the whole place an artist's feel. Size-wise, we think it’ll be a squeeze for five. Three guests will sleep on sofa beds, including a pull-out single in the main bedroom that's best for little ones. Still, with views of the Basilica of Santa Maria Maggiore at your disposal and the Colosseum a fifteen-minute stroll away, we think the location more than makes up for that.

Home truths
At full capacity, three guests will sleep on sofa beds. There’s a double sofa bed in the living area, as well as a pull-out single bed in the main bedroom. We think the latter is best for children, as the mattress is a little thin.
If you’re travelling with little ones, your host can provide a cot and high chair upon request.
Parking isn’t provided, but you won’t need a car in this central location. Vittorio Emanuele Station is a short walk away.

Take a few steps east of the Colosseum itself, and you enter a laid-back, unpretentious area of Rome, home to the city's...
