This was a special occasion celebrating my father’s 70th birthday and my son’s 16th. There were six of us in total, the youngest being 13. The apartment was an excellent choice for our group.
We have walked every City we visit, therefore location is paramount. We see no value in spending tons of money and time on transport reaching our destination. Daniela and Roberta apartment fits the bill perfectly!
Between Campo Dei Fiori and Piazza Navona this is the geographical heart of Rome. From here we walked to the Vatican, Pantheon, Trevi, Colosseum and Trastevere District within half an hour with plenty to view en route. We also walked from the SIT airport shuttle stop, a very pleasant 20 minutes passed the Supreme Court, across the Tiber and through Piazza. The bus itself is an excellent cheap alternative to a taxi costing only €6 per head. However, we did opt for a taxi to head home, efficiency being our top priority. This was organised by Daniela and Roberta and was seamless. It cost €72.
The apartment itself is spacious and clean, the decor very pleasant and the Football table great fun at the end of a busy day.
There are tons of excellent value restaurants, bars, snack shops all round the apartment and of course the market itself. There is a shop downstairs which for alcohol, especially is rather expensive but a five minute walk along Vittorio Emanuele (Vatican direction) brings you to PAM and Carrefour supermarkets. Prices are extremely reasonable (£10 for gin!)
The only slight negative about the apartment is the communal space is quite small and in the middle of the apartment so receives no natural light.
The main bedrooms are however awash with light and some have lovely views.
There was minor disruption in one room from a tv on the floor above. This would only be a problem if you are a very light sleeper. We noted absolutely no street noise and enjoyed plenty of restful, much needed sleep.
I wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again. I favour the district over just about all others visited. It felt ‘real’, safe, vibrant and close to everything you wish to see in Rome.
Thrilled with our choice! Thank you x
