If you are looking for a place in the heart of Rome, this may be the place for you. The apartment is nestled between in Campo de Fiori/Piazza Farnese. All of the major sites in Rome are within walking distance.
Giuseppe personally met us and gave us a tour of the apartment. The refrigerator was thoughtfully stocked with orange juice, pear juice, two cases of water and even a bottle of Prosecco. The pantry had pre-ground coffee and Nespresso pods, too. We had everything we needed, including soaps/shampoo, plenty linens, well st led kitchen, and a washing machine with laundry soap. The apartment was very clean. All of the sponges, soaps, and even the toilet bowl brush were brand new and in the plastic wrap. This is a testament to the host’s commitment to hygiene.
Giuseppe was a marvelous host. He gave us local restaurant suggestions and local architecture insights. He checked on us via text messages and was quick to respond to any needs. He even met us to say goodbye and get us a taxi. It was a delight to stay in his and Michaela’s former home.
Some things to be aware of:
With such a central location in a lively city, the apartment was loud at night. The restaurants are busy until 2:00 AM. After the bars close, the street cleaning begins. This prepares the Piazza for the outdoor market that sets up at dawn and is hustling and bustling until the afternoon. This would be less of an issue for us if we were younger and out partying as well, but as a family with young children it was a bit noisy. The hosts thoughtfully provide guest with ear plugs which are helpful, but I found my Air Pod Pros with noise canceling features more helpful.
