2nd stay at this apartment and I have already booked my next stay !! This apartment is a welcome respite from the hustle and bustle of Rome. Hosts arranges pickups at a fair price from the airport so you don't have the stress of transportation after a long flight from the USA. The host is very responsive and attentive. The secret to enjoying the tourist sites of Rome is to arrive EARLY. This apartment is only 2 blocks away from the entrance of the Vatican museum. Yes! A 5 minute walk !! Book your Vatican museum tickets in advance for the 9:30am entrance and enjoy the quiet beauty without all the jostling. ONE block away from a bus stop that takes you to Campo de Fiori and the Pantheon. 2 blocks from a metro that takes you to to the steps of the Colosseum. Again, arrive by 9am and you'll have the Colosseum all to yourself. The guided tourist hordes all arrive around 10:30am. Step outside your apartment door, cross the street in front, and you are one block from a huge indoor farmer's market. Bring back your goodies and make lovely meals in your kitchen. Large bottles of detergent for only ONE EURO sold at the market, the apartment comes with a washing machine, so it's easy to pack light if you want. Once you stay here, you'll never want to visit Rome any other way. Ciao !!
