Leading off a gorgeous lane way near a major thoroughfare leading to Trevi fountain, you’d expect this location to be noisy. However it is nestled at the back nice apartment complex that is as far away from the parading tourists as you’d wish, without making you walk far away from the action. The biggest noise issue we contended with was the seagulls squawking in the garden next door. Others have commented about the lack of overhead lighting in the rooms of this place. There’s a bright, dimmable light in the connecting archways between the rooms that produces plenty of light that bounces around. Outside of that there’s several lamps. There’s one large window that receives plenty of sunlight, however this apartment is like many that you’d expect to find in Europe, in that it is darker than the sun-soaked homes we are used to. On the plus side the thick walls and tucked away location makes it both quiet and very private. In winter this made it easy to keep warm, and in summer it should remain very cool as it gets hot outside. The kitchen is good. There’s coffee and sugar on hand, so you don’t have to rush straight away to the Coop. The shower is large, much to the expense of the bathroom that feels small. The bed is a high quality latex mattress that has been the best I have ever slept on in a hotel or rental accomodation. Speaking of the coop. It’s a short walk away. Walk out the front door of the apartment complex and turn left. Once on the main parade to the Trevi fountain (you’ll know it by the people walking past and the hawkers suddenly annoying you) turn left and walk up the hill. Had you have turned right here you’d be a handful of steps away from the Trevi. The metro train is about 7 minutes away. 10 if you holiday waddle. 15 if you stop for espresso at one of the dozens of easy access locations. You have a choice of two stations - both on the same line. Barberini station is the closest by about a minute. Walking there you can take a couple of routes that take you past interesting shops and restaurants. The other station is Spagna; the metro station serving the Spanish Steps. A slightly longer walk that takes you past more shops, less coffee, but has a magnificent monument to look at when you arrive. I found a couple of travel adapters in a drawer in the room, and there’s an extra heater and some lamps in a wardrobe. The adapters are US-EU kind, so sorry fellow Australians... you’ll have to bring you own. On top of this one of the best parts is the owner:- Cate. She’s patient, attentive and a very good communicator. When we arrived after 23 hours of travel, barely able to speak she we found her friendly and informative. While I realise you are renting the room and...
