Mattia's place near the Spanish Steps is amazing. It is in a chic and busy neighborhood, just removed by a few blocks from the tourist crowds. It is easy walking distance to most anything you would want to visit in Rome, very central. The street itself is quiet with almost no traffic - lovely - and there is a music school nearby - with open windows you can hear free opera concerts almost every day! The place itself is so much more comfortable than a hotel room - and the bath tub is BETTER than a hotel bath too! It has real jacuzzi jets that work very well! The internet, coffee machine, and tv work great for any time you want to chill or work from Mattia's place. The bed upstairs is VERY comfortable and I love that there are PLENTY of comfortable pillows too. I suggest the Dilla restaurant for a lovely meal. If you are coming to Rome for professional, personal, or tourist reasons or for a romantic getaway for a couple, Mattia's place near the Spanish Steps is perfect. I just hope it will be available for me to reserve the next time I'm in Rome!
