This Rome apartment, up four flights of ancient stone steps, offers the benefits you'd expect in a 500-year-old building, and more. The apartment is quiet and spacious, with a lovely living room and a large, comfortable bed. The door to the kitchenette is a work of art and the door to the apartment is probably the original. The apartment provides a sense of Roman history before you even walk out the door, and once you're outside you are right in the middle of one of Rome's best walking neighborhoods, within a stroll of many top sites.
The apartment also has some of the drawbacks you'd expect from a 500-year-old building. The internet connection was unreliable as was the hot water. So terrific for some, but maybe not for everybody.
