Bruno’s apartment is terrific! The location was ideal, a three minute walk to the Pantheon, with lots of places to grab a meal or fun shops. We walked everywhere in Rome and the farthest point was only 30 mins. We would definitely recommend staying at Bruno’s. He was very welcoming, accommodated our earlier arrival (flight arrived almost 45 mins early), greeted us with fruit and wine, and took the time to highlight all the major sites on a map for us. He also has a collection of guide books (and I added my 2018 Rome guide for the next visitors).
Only two things I will highlight: 1) my husband and I aren’t too tall, but the bathroom door is under the stairs so that could be an issue for someone particularly tall (my 6’4” father would bang his head) and 2) the apartment has been updated to accommodate 4 people rather than the photos with just the loft bedroom. The bed on the first floor is fine, but there is no longer a couch or sitting area other than the table. Fine for us, but others might not like it. Also, I could see this as a place for a couple (it’s perfect!) or a family with a younger child or two. There is limited privacy so not a fit for someone with older kids or couples traveling together.
Also, some commented on noise at night - we had absolutely no issues at all.
We look forward to returning to Rome to visit Bruno again soon!
