If you are thinking of visiting Rome, you can’t go wrong with this charming apartment. It was a cosy space, the perfect size for two of us - although there is an extra bed if you’re in a party of three. The decor is delightfully rustic, with wooden beams across the ceiling and archaeological artefacts dotting the walls. The apartment was equipped with towels, hairdryer, a television, and other useful amenities, and the kitchen was well-stocked if you want to cook (although it would be a crime not to discover the local food in Rome!). Alessandro himself was a perfect host, always very prompt to communicate with us and to offer us advice and tips if we needed it.
As for the location - it simply couldn’t have been more ideal. You’re just a 10-15 minute stroll away from the Colosseum, and from there you can explore everything that the city has to offer. The main Termini station is situated just a 10 minute walk in the other direction, which is handy for taking a trip to the Vatican.
However, it’s the streets surrounding the apartment which made this stay so impressive. Step out of the door and into a network of ancient cobbled streets, all lined with ivy-draped trattorias, experimental restaurants and cocktail bars, coffee shops, bakeries, gelato stands, quirky independent stores... this is a perfect slice of Rome, largely undiscovered by the heaving crowds of tourists. We highly recommend staying here!
