Via Sistina is a 500 year old, modern apartment, where you are literally staying in a relic with original plaster decorations on the walls, very similar to some I saw in the Borghese Museum. While the walk up the stairs was a challenge for this writer, it was worth the effort to stay in this spacious, well appointed apartment. It is a little hard to tell from the pictures/listing, but this is a fairly spacious apartment with two full bedrooms and two and a half baths. The washing machine was a blessing, and while there is no dryer, the humidity is low and the clothes dried quickly. It was wonderful to leave with clean clothes. I can’t overstate how great the place was. We felt like we lived in Rome. There are also a few good little restaurants right across the street, and only two blocks away Via Venetto is filled with more glamorous restaurants. Walk to the end of the street and you are at the top of the Spanish Steps, with lovely little restaurants right on the Piazza where you can have a spritz and enjoy the sights. Via Sistina is a very historic street, it was originally commissioned by a pope to allow a path for pilgrimage of believers coming to Rome. Wow, just wow. Loved it, hope to go back one day!
