The location of this flat was fabulous, just up the hill from the Colosseum and in an area with many walkable restaurants (Ai Tres Scalini was AMAZING!), grocery stores, and gelatorias.
The apartment is on the fifth floor which helped filter out some of the street noise and made us feel safe & comfortable with the windows open. There is a tiny elevator that will fit two people and was quite helpful during our stay but I would not book this particular apartment if you are not capable of climbing stairs (just in case the elevator were to be out of order during your stay or something.)
The apartment consists of a spacious living area, well-equipped kitchen, and two bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms. The bathrooms are tiny (smaller than a cruise ship, if you’ve experienced that) but they are clean, have good water-pressure, are stocked with soap, shampoo, and towels, and were functional enough for our stay. The layout of each bedroom having it’s own bathroom was wonderful for two couples traveling together! One room also had a small private terrace which was a nice spot to sit alone and read or enjoy a cup of coffee.
The owner sent his friend Micaela to greet us and be our point of contact during our trip. She was very helpful and friendly. She showed us how everything worked, gave us a map and provided recommendations & directions to get us started on the right foot. At one point during our stay, we alerted her to a small concern in the apartment that could have been resolved after our departure but she was there and had it fixed within a couple of hours so we were quite impressed.
This apartment was a great fit for our group! We would definitely consider staying here again if the coin we tossed in the Trevi Fountain works it’s magic and guarantees our safe return to Rome one day :-)
