We stayed at Paola’s Terrazza Pamphili apartment for a month this winter. It is a great apartment with everything you need to cook at home if you want to and a very comfortable bed , plenty of hot water, wifi can be a little iffy but will be upgraded soon. There is an elevator to 5th floor and so you only have to walk up one flight of stairs, which is a huge bonus.
It is situated in a nice non touristic area with tons of bus options within a couple minutes. Once you get used to Google Maps bus route travelling around Rome to see all the high lights is a breeze. It’s really only a 25 min walk to the Vatican, but be warned if you want to walk home there are lots of steps and hills. In the neighbourhood you can find plenty of coffee bars, restaurants, great ice cream shop right on the door step, a few supermarkets and a whole food shop within a short walk. A great park is literally on the doorstep for an afternoon stroll or to go for a run, Trastevere is very close and has a fun vibe.
Unfortunately we were not able to make use of the fantastic terrace as much as we would have liked due to bad weather, it’s a great extension to to apartment - to eat outside, sunbathe or do yoga.
Paola is a great host, she had put up some Christmas decorations for us and gifted us a delicious panettone. We had a problem with the heating and it was swiftly attended to. Paola helped us navigate a couple of calls that were in Italian and gave us some great trips for things to see. You can not go wrong staying here
