Situated on the famous street Via Merulana in the San Giovanni district, this is an excellently located home in a lively bourgeois area with good transport links to the rest of the city.

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