Art Lab Residence is a bed and breakfast in Rome, in the Rione Monti district, about 450 meters from the Colosseum and 1.8 km from the historic center. The property occupies a location that travelers rate 9.8 for location, thanks to its proximity to sites such as the Domus Aurea, the Arch of Constantine and Piazza San Giovanni in Laterano.

It’s a suitable option for couples, families and travelers who want to explore the monuments of ancient Rome on foot, with Colosseo metro station just 650 meters away and Termini station reachable in a few minutes.
