Choosing Roman Beams as my home base for a month in Italy was an excellent decision! It’s a beautiful apartment, tastefully decorated and fitted with everything you want or need.
I love to cook in Italy, so being less than five minutes walk to the fresh market at Campo de Fiori was marvelous, and coming home to a wonderful kitchen -with a 5 burner gas range, (plus dishwasher and washing machine) is like a dream! The Nespresso got a workout, too.
The shower is twice the size I’m accustomed to finding in Rome. And I loved the little bedroom loft with a tiny powder room. (Fair warning: I am 5’10” and could not stand upright in the loft. If you’re taller than 5’8” plan to bend over a bit. This wasn’t a problem, but be aware -and the doorway into the bathroom is even smaller, but you can stand upright in there!) At the foot of the loft steps is a dressing room with a closet, so you’re not cramped when getting ready for your day.
The soundproof windows do a good job, especially for the bedroom, but you still hear occasional sirens, as this is a city! I especially enjoyed throwing the windows wide in the morning, and having my coffee watching the city wake up.
I’m getting up in years and am not interested in climbing a million stairs, and found the elevator (which is up one long flight) a godsend. I used it every day, and saved my hiking energy for the city.
The taxi stand is just the other side of the Torre Argentina park, a block away, or you can call one to your door by appointment. The buses and trams are right there, but everything is just so convenient, I mostly just walked. In about five minutes: The Pantheon, Piazza Navona, the Trastevere, the Jewish Quarter, Altar of the Fatherland, and a dozen must-see churches with astonishing art.
Cynthia very kindly allowed me an early arrival based on my flight, and met me at the door. She’s completely accessible and ready to answer any question or request. She and her daughter, Tatsiana, will treat you like a VIP.
This is definitely the place to stay in Rome. You’ll love it. I sure did.
