The apartment on Via dei Banchi Vecchi was perfect centrally located for our week long stay in Rome. We loved it here! It is within walking distance to of the iconic places to visit including the Vatican, Spanish Steps, Trevi Fountain, Campo Di Fiori, Colliseum and Palantine hill, etc. It is definitely away from the tourist crowds which makes it a lovely escape after a long day of touring the city. The neighborhood is lovely with many small locally owned boutiques, bars and restaurants. It is very secure with 3 locked doors to enter the apartment up one flight of stairs. It is also on a semi busy corner and not down a narrow street which was nice when entering after dark. Plenty of space for two people. Super clean, the air conditioning worked perfectly on some very hot days, hot water took a minute but was perfect after it started. I did purchase a few bath towels, bed pillow and extra blanket to make the mattress feel a bit more cushy but that was for my own added comfort. Lavinia is a lovely, excellent host who met us upon arrival, was very responsive to our questions and arranged our car to return to the airport.
