To make your stay more enjoyable I have personally selected a range of information and useful addresses.
On your arrival you will be given useful tips, divided by touristic area, regarding: typical “trattorie”, restaurants, pizzerias, bars, ice cream shops, wine bar, etc., that, by our experience, can help in making your stay unforgettable.

From 2019, in the living room was installed a 12.000 BTU A/C device able to cool the whole apartment. In addition, in summer, you'll find electric an in every bedroom.

At your arrival you will find a food welcome kit (pasta, tomato sauce, oil, salt, sugar, coffee, tea, biscuits), so you will have time to organize yourself in the best way, in one of the close supermarkets. Also available in the hygienic products and detergents, as well as a kit for first aid.

You will be welcomed personally by me and I will provide all the necessary information even on public transport, the attractions of the neighborhood, the advice for pleasant walks in the city center. This way you can give your holiday a very customized impression and experience Rome

Quattro Coronati or just relaxing in one of the many typical “osteria romanesca” where you will be able to taste the real roman cuisine, pizzerias, wine bars, pubs, ice cream shops.
Your stay will be even more comfortable due to the proximity of: underground, bus, green areas, parking, supermarkets, internet café, car/bike hire, bureau de change, etc

Our stay in Rome was fantastic. It is literally a stone's throw from the Colosseum as advertised. Marco was a tremendous help, connecting us with someone to help us set up tours. Marco also set up transportation from the airport to the apartment and met us at the apartment to check us in. He showed us all the ins and outs of the apartment and the neighborhood, showing us maps and offering dining suggestions.The apartment was the perfect size for our family of 4 (two kids, ages 17 & 20) with a queen-size bed in one room and 2 singles in the other room.He was also very helpful when I forgot one of his instructions for the washing machine. He was available to answer my call and show me what to do.The location is fabulous, with many restaurants within walking distance in addition to the Colosseum area that offered much to look at and a great area to walk around.Taxis were available within a block of the apartment, and Marco also suggested a taxi app to download (IT Taxi). We used it seamlessly to get to the Vatican for a cost of 20 euros.For our other tours that were arranged, the 3-hour golf cart tour picked us up at the apartment and dropped us at a restaurant around the corner with a dinner reservation. For the Colosseum tour, we walked the 2 blocks to meet our guide.One other thing—being from the United States, we do not speak Italian. This was not a problem, as Marco speaks very good English.It was a perfect experience for all of us!Thank you, Marco!

You would be hard pressed to find a more perfect rental than this. Location is unbelievable - truly mind blowing to wake up 300 m from the Colosseum and Forum every day. We walked around it every morning and night … and many times in between. Surreal experience. The apartment was pristine and set up like a home with everything you could need. Beds and linens very cozy. AC and laundry was so appreciated this July! Ground floor location meant no stairs at the end of long days - and it is a quiet & peaceful building. Roof top terrace gave a postcard view. Marco’s hospitality is truly top notch - his welcome book was so helpful for public transit and restaurant recommendations - and he kindly made sure we knew how everything worked so that life was easy! Communication was the best we’ve had with over 30 similar rental stays. Rome is very walkable - but if you need transit, bus 81 is at the corner and takes you to the Vatican. The Colosseum metro stop is only 300m away. The hop on and off bus companies all stop within about 400m from the front door. All this being said, this apartment feels like it is on a quiet and humble street. You. Will. Love it !!!

A lovely home base for exploring Rome, mere blocks from the Coliseum with restaurants, gelato, 24-hour market and more in this little neighborhood. Thoughtful comforts like fresh fruit and kitchen basics in a clean first-floor unit from friendly and informative hosts (great communication). Would stay again and recommend to friends!

From check in to check out, Marco was amazing! The apartment is just two blocks from the colosseum and had everything, air conditioning, fans, plenty of towels, dishes, pans, utensils, toiletries, a full size refrigerator. The apartment is spacious and immaculately clean. The bed was very comfortable. Easy to walk to restaurants, grocery store and bus stops. Stunning view from the rooftop of the city and colosseum with the sun setting behind it. Highly recommend this apartment to future renters. Five stars aren’t high enough!

Great Host!

Our 1st time at a VRBO was fantastic. The host, Marco, organized our airport-to-apartment transportation, checked us in, provided details about the apartment, and even gave us a map highlighting key attractions in the area. I accidentally locked myself out of the apartment on New Year's Eve at 8 o'clock at night, leaving my family stranded. Marco generously traveled 30 minutes each way to let us back in, and he didn't charge us for the assistance. Our time in Rome was truly delightful. We loved the apartment's location and, in particular, cherished the personal touch of renting someone's place—adding to our overall experience.

Fantastic in Every Way

Wonderful apartment in the heart of Rome. 2 blocks from the coliseum. On the non touristy side of the coliseum. Easy to find delicious affordable restaurants. Safe little neighborhood. Marco was extremely responsive right from the first email. From the reservation to the checkin and check out. We were there for 4 days and he checked in a couple of times to see if we needed anything. Unit had two nice bedrooms and a sitting room. Kitchen has everything you need. Nice shower and washing machine. Pictures shown are accurate. Marco was the perfect host. He met us on arrival and check out, explained the keys, gas stove, washing machine and getting around the neighbourhood. Marco allowed us to drop our luggage earlier than checkin so we could get to a tour on time. Marco arranged a driver from the port and then to the airport for us. Giovanni the driver was on time and a fair rate. (Transport can be tricky) He has a binder in the suite, that explains getting around by bus, metro, restaurants, grocery etc. We quickly found our favorite pizza/ focaccia by the slice spot, gelato, cafes and restaurants in no time. Pizza by the slice at Pizzería di Sforza Piero €2.50 per person Naumachia Risorante had delicious Handmade Lasagna at €8.00 Espresso’s €2.00-3.00 Marco left us a bowl of fresh fruit upon arrival. It was so unexpected, delicious and appreciated. The local oranges are fantastic! When back in Rome we will certainly look forward to staying there again!

We had a short few days in Rome and found this cute little place. It was super convenient to the Colosseum and other sites. Marco, our host, was so helpful and even helped us get a taxi the day we left. We were a little disappointed with the lack of views. It was a ground floor apartment. We didn’t stay inside much so that wasn’t a huge issue. I would definitely recommend Marco as your Rome host.

A week in Roma

We have been to Rome several times but this time we brought our two grandsons, ages 15 and 12 for their first trip abroad. The apartment was wonderful. My husband had sprained his knee before we left and was using a can so luckily there were only 3 stairs before entering the apartment. It was perfect for the 4 of us and had everything we needed. It was extremely clean and very comfortable We would definitely stay here again and will recommend it to friends. It is close to everything and the #81 bus stops just at the end of the block and we were able to get around Rome very well from there. We could not have wished for more.

Thanks to Marco and Antonella for renting us this apartment! This truly was our home away from home. It had everything we ever needed for our week's stay. The location was convenient. Close to the metro, buses, and there is a taxi stand around the corner. We are hoping to return soon, as we did throw a few coins in the Trevi. When we do, we will definitely stay at Il Nido al Coloseo.

Fabulous stay in a lovely apartment and great location

We had a fantastic stay in Rome. The apartment was perfect, and although very near the Colosseum still in an area that had its own character and was quiet (apart from very occasional late night noise from the Camden Town pub!). Everything was so convenient with shops and restaurants close by. But what made it extra special was the attention to detail from Marco the owner of the apartment. He was so helpful before we arrived - helping us to find a birthday semi-freddo cake for our daughter's 18th as well as sending through useful information about what to see and how to get to the apartment. The information in the apartment was so helpful - we tried three of the restaurant recommendations and they were all great plus we did the 2km walk around the area seeing the beautiful church of St Clemente, the Quattro Coranati convent and many other sights. We walked everywhere - a highlight was walking to St. Peters and arriving at 8.30 in the glorious sunshine, as well as appreciating the Colosseum at all times of the day and going up to the rooftop terrace at night for the view. I can highly recommend the Il Nido, and thank Marco for all his kindness and attention, and would definitely return.

Perfect nest for Rome

The pictures online had me a little nervous, but it was excellent when we got there. Building was quiet and neighborhood is safe with police, grocery stores and restaurants all close. Ideal for a couple and our 15 yr old to have his own room and unlimited wifi. Our luggage was lost for 3 days and superhost Marco went above and beyond to help us by making calls in Italian to the airport for us, and letting us ask 100 questions. Walking distance to everything..9 days was exactly right. Don't forget to try Uber Black..same price and better cars and service than taxi. Ciao from Canada

Excellent location, excellent apartment

We can't say enough positive things about this flat and Marco, the owner. The flat is on the ground floor (we've rented many that were a trek up flights of stairs), and charming. The beds are comfortable with quality linens. The kitchen is fully equipped and we used it most evenings for dinner. The location is ideal, close to a metro stop and bus stops and convenient to grocery markets and small restaurants. And walking by the Colosseum every day is incredible! Marco arranged for a driver to meet us at the airport and return us after our two week visit. Marco met us at the flat when we arrived and explained the appliances, keys & locks, and local shops, etc. He contacted us during our stay with updates about weather and a potential strike and other information. He even left us a special treat for our wedding anniversary. If we return to Rome (one can hope!), we will always want to stay at "Il nido al Colosseo."
