The apartment and the surrounding neighborhood were a wonderful discovery. Far more spacious than the photos show, this was the perfect base in Rome for 6 weeks this fall, while my husband had a visiting teaching position and I was working remotely. The terrace with its view of Sant' Anastasia served as an extra, outdoor room -- writing studio as well as lunch, aperitivo, and dinner spot. The front rooms look out on the Temples of Portunus and Hercule, and the tower of Santa Maria in Cosmedin. Nearly all the sites one would want to visit are no more than a 20 minute walk away, and the apartment is well connected by public transportation.
Aside from the attractive and roomy living space, we fell in love with the small enclave of a neighborhood, which took a bit of time to get to know. We took a daily morning walk around Circo Massimo, and in the evening would go to gaze at the back of the Forum at night. Favorite spots are Bar San Teo, great coffee and pastries, plus artisanal beer and snacks to take home, Anima Mundi for aperitivi, and, not to miss, the Mercato San Teodoro on Saturdays and Sundays, which features small farm stands, plus butchers, fish mongers, oil purveyors, etc. Shop early, then go back for lunch in the garden cortile with a view of the Arch of Janus and campanile of S. Giorgio in Velabro. Via dei Fieneli, a 5 minute walk, has an alimentari, restaurants, and a bar.
Some reviewers mentioned the noise in the bedroom at night. The front rooms do look out on a busy thoroughfare, so there is traffic. We ended up turning on white noise and slept very, very well. Otherwise, the neighborhood is quiet -- very few people out late at night, unlike in Trastevere or Monti.
Those comments should not dissuade you from this fabulous apartment!
We would happily stay here again next time we come to Rome.
