This place is so cute! I loved the experience of staying here — I really felt like I was on Rome. If I had to imagine what Ancient Rome felt like, I got a glimmer through the design of the main door into the apartment as well as the windows; the windows have a wooden panel to cover and a unique way to secure. I loved it!
The apartment is two levels and has some low ceilings; I am 5’5 ft / 1.6 m so I fit fine. If a person is very tall, this could be suboptimal.
There was plenty of natural light in the apartment. The bathroom had access to natural light too through a small window that looked out to another window in the apartment. I love natural light.
The location is quiet yet convenient. It’s located in a vicolo aka small street instead of a via aka larger street. The main nightlife area with bars and restaurants are a short walk, maybe 5 minutes depending on where you are going. It was nice because it was not loud which is important to me.
The location is about a 30 minute walk to the nearest train station. The bus is maybe a 8 minute walk ago, but when it is hot, it feels much longer. Haha.
If you’re looking for a traditional local experience, this apartment is great!
Fabrizio was a rockstar communicator and I appreciated his personal touches. I appreciated the nice bottle of wine he prepared on the table for my welcome. He helped me call a car to Roma Termini as I had an early train to catch. I haven’t had the best experiences with catching trains and connections so I was a bit stressed but the driver Fabrizio sent, Claudio, was amazing and also a little early to pick me up which was amazing. I really appreciated it.
When I come back to Rome, I hope Fabrizio will host me again. Loved this experience and the classic design of his apartment. Rome exceeded my expectations and hope. I’m grateful. :)
Grazie Fabrizio! 💚🤍❤️
