Situated just 200 metres from the Colosseum, this first-floor apartment puts you in a prime position for sightseeing. You'll find plenty of restaurants and shops in the local area, not to mention tram stops and a metro station for adventures further afield. Back home, we love the views of the nearby Basilica of San Clemente. The living space is bright and comfortable, and though the kitchen lacks an oven, it has everything you need to rustle up lighter fare. There isn't a lift here, and two guests will sleep on the sofa bed – but, to be moments from Rome's most famous landmark, it more than fits the bill.

Home truths:
*Two guests will sleep on the sofa bed in the living area. If you'd like ample room for socialising, we think a guest count of four is best.
*If you're travelling with little ones, your host can provide a free cot on request.
*This apartment is located on the first floor of a building without a lift. You'll need to climb stairs to access the front door.
*You won't find an oven here – though there is a hob and a microwave. We think the kitchen is better suited to prepping lighter bites than large meals.
*There are desks in each bedroom if you plan to work from home during your stay.
*Your host has paid special attention to reducing environmental impact, so there are water-saving taps, energy-saving lighting, and recycling bins here.
