Where to start? The apartment is magnificent!! Close to the very very trendy Navona area.
Navona square is a 2min walk away.. the colluseum is 30 stroll away (while stopping and admiring other sites). All attractions are close by.
A few good reasons to stay here:
Check was quick and simple with Alessia who was very friendly.
Downstairs there's a little shop with milk, cheese, bread, meat, deli and alcohol (this is opposite the entrance). Nearby are other supermarkets.
Bars.. Art Bar was our favourite (about 40 metres away). Bar del Fico also directly opposite.
Alot of (cheaper) authentic restaurants are nearby in the typical and beautiful Roman alleyways. These restaurants are not the tourist traps near the tourist attractions. These are frequented by locals and tourists alike and the food is simply amazing. Don't travel out to eat. All our favourites were nearby the apartment.
There's 49 steps to get to the apartment on the third floor. Not fun carrying 2 20kg bags :/ but it's a once off. This is typical of the old building in Europe and part of the charm.
The Vatican is very close by. We took a taxi to meet an 8am tour.. however the walk back was memorable crossing over the river river.
Will definitely stay there again.
