Only a short scenic walk across the river from exciting and bustling central Rome, Maria / Eleonora’s place is a real find. The apartment itself is clean, bright and decorated with interesting art. The balcony is just the perfect size for two people to sit and enjoy a morning coffee or an evening drink, and looks out over the inner courtyard and green plants opposite.
The bathroom is chic, with wood panelling and the option of ambient lighting for a relaxing bath while the distant sounds of Roman streetlife can just be heard.
The host Eleonora was fantastically helpful - offering tons of advice on our arrival and only ever being a message away if we needed anything.
Additional lovely touches were a bottle of wine on arrival, and enough pastries and biscuits to keep us going all week (although there is a lovely bakery a short walk away if you prefer!).
The location was perfect for us - we enjoyed the daily strolls along the Tiber, past the grand supreme court and the Castel Sant'Angelo. Restaurants can be found nearby, as well as a pharmacy and convenience shop just minutes round the corner.
All in all, we had an excellent stay, and would definitely choose Eleonora’s apartment again for a trip to Rome!
