THE perfect location. Piazza di San Lorenzo in Lucina is my favorite place to stay in Rome. The location couldn’t be better, given the radius: Santa Maria del Popolo, Spanish steps, Trevi, Capitoline hill, Campo de’ Fiori, via Giulia, Piazza Navona, via della Scrofa, Ponte and Castel Sant’Angelo. All easy to reasonable walking distance and the area including so many great museums and churches (San Luigi, St Ivo, Il Gesù, Sant’Ignazio etc etc). And the San Lorenzo in Lucina church with Bernini’s Fonseca chapel right at your doorstep. It’s such a lovely, elegant Piazza, even despite the paving work that was going on in my three weeks. Caffè Ciampini is ten steps from the door, my favorite place in Rome for Aperitivo (also famous for ice cream, but that’s not my thing). The apartment is roomy, a little older in a very nice way. I saw reviews complain about the bathroom situation. Yes, the WC room is tight, but manageable (I’m 6’4”, 260 lbs); the shower stall is small for American standards but normal, if by no means luxurious, for European standards, and I had plenty of room in it. I was surprised that a 3-week rental did not include weekly cleanings and bedlinen/towel changes, but Paola offered this for 40 euros per week, which was a tiny bit annoying, but ok. I have no idea what she’s written about me, but I’d stay here every time I come to Rome. I should say I think it’s good for one or two (intimate) people and it could use a new sofa sometime soon. Also be aware it’s two full flights up, not just a ‘few’ steps. These are little things. It’s a great place to stay!
