I spent over 10 days in this place and although Rome has a city wide trash-pick-up problem, depressing to both visitors and residents, Pamela's rooftop studio apartment was a retreat from the street. Its an open studio, quiet, safe and comfortable. The elevator will take you to the 5th floor then, you have another 20 steps to get to the 6th floor rooftop door. From this location, the Vatican walls are about 600 feet away. Two big grocery stores are very close by. The washer works great. A surrounding private walk-able patio was what I loved the most and often, after cooking dinner, I took my meals outside using the provided table and chairs. I also practiced my yoga stretches outside on the patio. I never used the window shutter's because of the inherent rooftop privacy, the beautiful natural day light and evening calm was welcoming.
