This extra special apartment in the heart of Rome was perfectly situated for our tourist needs. The apartment is recently renovated and the rooms are modern and well appointed, the bed was comfortable, the bathrooms were pretty, and the kitchen looked great (though we hardly used it though as the apartment is surrounded by dozens of restaurants and bars less than a couple minutes’ walk). All the major tourist sites are conveniently within a 45min walk max. and you’ll be hard pressed to find a better place to stay for a week’s vacationing in Rome.
We encountered a minor teething problem with the newly refurbished apartment (nothing of concern to us, but thought it useful to point out to the hosts for future rentals) and the hosts were super responsive and truly went above and beyond to get it resolved. We’d happily stay at the apartment or any other properties the hosts own and manage on future visits to Rome.
For future visitors I’d highlight a couple of things to be aware of. This modern newly refurbished apartment really is in the heart of Rome. If you’re tall you’ll find the main bedroom and bathroom very low and those over 6’ will struggle (My boyfriend is 6’5” and had to rely upon the main-floor bathroom and shower instead and I only knocked my head in the bedroom twice a day). If you’re sensitive to street noise or a light sleeper you’ll probably struggle with the apartment being “in the thick of it” surrounded by the restaurants and bars. There is literally a bar a couple floors below the apartment and Friday and Saturday nights had bar patrons in the narrow street drinking and talking through 4am in the morning. That said, it’s all part of being in the heart of a lively vibrant city – so soak it in and join the patrons if sleep is elusive.
