great experience. 10 min walk (w/o luggage) to termini. 15 min walk to colosseum. Can really walk to anywhere in rome from here if you have enough time (we accidentally ended up at the tiber near piazza navona and had to walk back at 11pm; didn't feel unsafe, and didn't take too long). Apartment in a locked courtyard near santa maria maggiore and s. alfonso church. Good neighborhood. Very nice, english
speaking owners. Very safe (many keys needed to get in). Only problem
was contacting the owners (we ran out of toilet paper and had no way to tell them). Oh, and at night the main gate is locked from the inside and out, so you need you key to even get out. This was a problem when we checked out at 5am. Highly reccomended though. Room was great with plenty of electrical outlets and room and a comfy bed.
