Lungotevere Marzio 9 is a terrific place to stay when you are in Rome. It is located to every landmark you would want to visit. I was surprised by the walking score for the city, as this AirBnB location seemed perfectly placed for what we wanted to do. It is located on the Tiber River, and we were never more than a 30 minute walk (albeit my hiker friends have a somewhat faster pace than most), but it all were manageable. Even meandering through the arteries all over this area was easy. It’s not a square city, so the curves and crossing streets sometimes fool you. But you can not beat this place for location.
The unit itself is a 3 bedroom, 3 1/2 bath, with a large living room/dining room, and a patio. The kitchen was a little small, but we didn’t expect to cook, and you shouldn’t either. There are a lot of great restaurants in the city, and reasonably priced, as well. Shout out to Ristorante Leonardo, next to the Spanish Steps. Alex and crew were terrific servers, and the food was the best we had there (enough to go back a few times). This was a super comfortable place to reenergize after a long start to the day, before heading out for something to do around sunset. It was very well taken care of and clean. The beds were very welcoming after a long day - we all fell asleep quite easily. There are some clubs along the river that played music loudly into the night, but I was frankly too tire and the bed was so comfy, that I dropped right off even with the music playing. Pierluigi was an excellent and highly communicative host, and his manager Elizabeth was delightful and very responsive. The stay was overall five stars for us.
My favorite thing to do here was to hang out at the Piazza Navona, just 5 minutes front he apartment, milling in and out of the arteries, and people watching on the piazza. Then cruising over to Frigidarium for the best gelato ever, and Baffetto, the best pizza.
Loved Rome, and especially was made terrific by this AirBnB unit.
Grazie Pierluigi and Elizabeth.
Ciao, Roma.
