Sistina8 is a magnificent place to stay! As you can read on many reviews, it’s location is amazing, close to subways, we even ventured on the bus as well, there’s a stop right around the corner. The weather was very warm, but since public transportation was pretty close to us we could easily explore the city and its touristic attractions.
I’m traveling around Italy with my husband and 2 kids, 4 and 7 years old. This apartment is very spacious for 4 people and has everything a family with small children might need. There’s a big supply of baby stuff (toys, high chair, baby utensils) as well as a very organized kitchen. You will find a big supply of cleaning products and can easily do your laundry there, perfect for longer stays or those 5 gelatos a day that insist on getting on your kids clothes. The apartment is completely renovated with impeccable a/c system, a must if you are around Rome during summer, and Netflix was a great help when kids needed to cool down after a long day outside.
Don’t worry about a few steps up to get to the apartment (the building doesn’t have an elevator). We didn’t travel this time with our stroller, but had 3 big suitcases and, once you are in the apartment, you forget you got up there carrying your bags. Not an issue at all!
The host was so nice to us. She messaged us a week prior to our arrival with instructions and was also available during our whole stay. She was very helpful quickly answering some questions we had regarding the city, walking around and on transportation. There is a folder with tips on where to go and we tried one of her recommendations (Ginger), it was such a wonderful lunch.
I couldn’t think of a better place to stay in Rome, will most definitely recommend it to friends&family and book it again on our next visit to the city!
